Clean Up Your Past

Is your past keeping you stuck in your present and preventing you from your future? Work through what you haven't let go from your past in order to function fully in your present and grow happily towards your future. Without working through your past whatevers, they constantly are a factor in your conversations and interactions of your present. They will continue to be the insecure and opened wound of any relationship until you resolve it within yourself. Resolution isn't always possible to obtain with the others involved. More than not the resolution must be about you reconciling what happened in the past (what happened, how you felt about it, how it hinders you now, how you can let go and move on). Letting go can only come about with understanding of the whats and hows of what happened then, so they do not have to keep coming up now. Closure and understanding are two entirely different beasts. Even if you cannot obtain closure from another, you can obtain closure from you fully understanding what happened, how you felt about it then, how you feel about it now...dissecting your ownership and the others (whether they own it or not, you knowing that the duck is yellow even if they continue to call it purple is what helps you). Remember that it's never about changing another ... just you for you!
