We all faced obstacles in our past. But, there’s no need to run from or be ashamed of who we are or where we came from. Don’t let what happened to you, distract you from what you are becoming. The past is important to learn from, but you shouldn’t let it get in your way and become a weight that holds you back from moving forward. Let go of your past and tell your story, your way, and never answer to the voices of the past. It’s a new day.

Uncle Paul’s Thought: Let your past be a lesson, that has been learned and applied. The only way you can continue to be harmed by your past is if you let it. Your past is your past, now, brush that dirt off your shoulders and march forward with your head in the air and with a new determination.
