Your past is important because it made you the person that you are today. All the difficulties that you went through have given you great strength, all your triumphs have enable you to shine brightly. As you reflect upon your past, reflect only, do not reach to retrieve and bring forward those days. The past is important but is no longer relevant because you have grown and in fact become a different person due to all that you have experienced. Parcel up the past with gratitude and then send it on its way.
