You are a product of your journey thus far. Even though many of us would like to forget about some of the things that we have endured in the past, and some of the mistakes that we have committed, we have to believe that everything that we have been through, is a part of who we are today. Every situation you have encountered has helped to form who you are in this moment, and the only way that you can change who you are now, is to work on yourself as each day comes.

The mistakes you've made, and the challenges you have overcome are all a part of where you are in the present, but are not at all going to stop you from being who you want to be in the future. Don't be ashamed of your past, but don't celebrate it too much either. Keep a humble, diligent attitude filled with love, peace and a desire to make each day the best you possibly may for a better tomorrow!
