Past mistakes and failures will always chase you, as long as you run from them. Mistakes from my past don’t just passively linger in my mind, they suddenly emerge from the shadows and come at me full speed claws ready to dig in. The problem is whenever I’m running from my past it dictates the direction of my future. Stopping to turn, face, and deal with my mistakes and failures is the only way to head in the direction I want. It’s not a one time thing, its more of an everyday thing, but I’m learning.
