Appreciating Our Past

It is easy to be negative about past

mistakes and unhappiness.

But it is much more healing to look

at ourselves and our past in the light

of experience, acceptance, and growth.

Our past is a series of lessons that advance

us to higher levels of living and loving.

The relationships we entered, stayed in,

or ended taught us necessary lessons.

Some of us have emerged from the most

painful circumstances with strong insights

about who we are and what we want.

Our mistakes? Necessary.

Our frustrations, failures, and sometimes

stumbling attempts at growth and progress?

They were necessary, too.

Each step of the way, we learned.

We went through exactly the experiences

we need to, to become who we are today.

Each step of the way, we progressed.

Is our past a mistake? No.

The only mistake we can make

is mistaking that for the truth.

Today, God, help me let go

of negative thoughts I may be

harboring about my past

circumstances or relationships.

I can accept, with gratitude,

all that has brought me to today.

Love & Light,
