Valuable experience

The past is over, but that is no reason to abandon it altogether. Though it’s foolish to attempt to live in the past, it’s just as foolish to dismiss it completely.

Every experience you’ve ever had is now part of the past. All the knowledge you possess, you learned in the past.

As such, it’s good to remember, and to remember in great detail. Because the person you were yesterday, and twenty years ago, can offer great advice and direction to the person you are today.

Your past has shown you again and again what matters most to you. It has also provided you with a detailed database of which strategies and tactics work best for making your way forward.

So your past experience can not only help you determine where to go next. It can also provide expert guidance on how to get there.

Living through the entirety of your past has given you much value that remains with you right now. Treasure all that experience, all that value, and put it to good use today.
