Often, as I stand on the train platform, I see many heads turning to watch the train that just passed by. I turn and look the other way and see if there is another train approaching. Many of us have the tendency to look back and let the past impede on our future. That is not to say that you should let your past fade away. Past experiences could help shape your future for the better, if you learn from them. We make mistakes, we hurt people intentionally and unintentionally. However, focusing on the past will not let you continue growing into who you could be without integrating it into the future. Focus on the next opportunity, not the one that you saw come and go. Prepare yourself accordingly so you can catch the next train.
