Good day everyone, welcome to the blog. I'm glad you are reading this right now. With you right now is

A preacher once preached a message that really changed my life. He said, when our loved ones die, we cry and mourn for them. And after everything, their body is been washed, dressed and placed in the coffin. People come to see the body and wished they were still alive. Some would even hold on tight to the coffin to show how much they loved these people when they were alive.

He also said, no matter how much you loved them, you can't keep their dead body with you more than that day. If you leave it for too long, the body begins to smell. The ones you claim you loved will now become the one that causes you hurt. At that point, you have to bury them and forget the past.
Do you have dead bodies that you refuse to bury?
So many of us have dead bodies right there in our lives. Dead bodies that should have been buried a long time ago. We keep checking them every time and yet we always complain of terrible smell and discomfort that they cause for us.
At a point in my life, I thought I was a failure because I have failed. People told me I don't know anything and I believed them and I lived with that memory. I got my freedom when I buried this memory and stopped looking at the past and moved on.
I've heard the story of people like Joyce Meyer and Oprah Winfrey who were sexually abused at a young age. It affected them for sometimes but at a moment in their lives, they learned to bury the past and moved on.

It may not be easy to forget what has happened to you in the past. It may not be easy for you to just forget your past mistakes. The sins you've committed in the past may come back haunting you now but you have the choice of either allowing this to hold you down or to liberate yourself and move on.
It doesn't matter what abuse you've faced. It doesn't matter the number of times you've failed in the past. It doesn't matter the terrible mistakes you've made. We don't live in the past, we live in the present and the future is the only thing we should set our face towards.
When you keep thinking of what has happened to you in the past, you are held down there in the past. It is like driving a car but your only focus is the rear and side mirrors. You won't make any progress with that. Everyone has made a mistake at one point or another in their life. You can either take it as a mistake, learn from it and moved on.
You don't hold on too long to what you do not want.
It's like checking the map for the places you've passed but ignoring to check the map for where you are going.

Ever wondered why your eyes are at the front? You are meant to look at the future but never forget to learn from the mistakes of the past.
