We each have a past, some pasts we chose to forget, we run away from. Some of our pasts we don’ t know about. Yet we keep striving forward hoping to reach our destination. In actuality until we know where we come from, or chose to acknowledge where we come from, we are unable to achieve our destiny with purpose. That sense of purpose derives from knowing what makes us fight each morning we wake up, what makes us maintain until we get there. For a long time in my life, I ignored my past. I wanted to forget about it, lock it up keep it moving. I thought that meant never looking back, when in actuality the problem wasn’t looking back the problem was that I had never really moved on.  You have to look back to know where you come from, even if it means doing  a bit of research. I am going through this phase currently, the more I find out about where I come from, the more is solidifies my journey. I hope to inspire you to never forget where you come from, because it will be necessary to get to where you are going.
