Honoring Our Past, Imagining Our Future

So often, we dream about what might be.After all, what a wonderful and delicious topic to give thought to… our future.

But too often we do so without honoring the past. Here’s my take on that.

Sometimes we believe that if we ‘dwell’ in the past, we can’t move forward.

But there’s value in honoring the past as a way to imagining our future.

Instead of being ‘stuck’ in the past, shift your mindset to simply acknowledging what you’ve learned from your recent past or your distant past.

The key word here is ‘learned’. Because when you ask yourself the question: What did I learn about myself from a particular past experience, we open the door to richer dreams.

We recognize the value of the experience we are recalling.
We identify areas of growth for ourselves.
We recall the experience of witnessing something different.

And all of a sudden, the joy of allowing those learnings to populate our future imaginings, take hold.

Honoring our past… It can be a beautiful thing!
