Focus Forward

Coming back to Colorado has brought back memories for me. I spent 20 years here, experiencing many successes but also making many mistakes. The flash backs are like watching a movie; it's like another person or another life time ago. Well, it kinda was...I'm certainly not the same person who lived here before.

I spent too many years beating myself up and wondering what I could have done different. I came to a few conclusions: 1) We don't know what we don't know 2) We can only do our best at the time 3) Learn, grow and move on from your mistakes.

Getting stuck in the past doesn't do any one any good. Some times, like in my case, I can look back, smile and tell myself, "You've come a long way, baby!" It's all about focusing ourselves and our energies forward. We can't change the past, today is already over...so let's work at making tomorrow better.
