Acknowledge the past but don’t let it become your present

In our quest of searching for answers in our past or patterns that we wish to now avoid, we often get lost in what our life used to be like. The reminiscing of memories and moments that impacted our life in a positive or negative way become a habit and we get trapped in a…
