The Past Is a Factor, Not a Prison

“You can’t start the next chapter if you keep rereading the last one.” – Unknown

The past no longer matters—
but it is a factor in where you stand today.

It shaped your starting point,
but it has no authority over your next move.

Honor the lessons.
Acknowledge the scars.
But do not mistake history for destiny.

Your past explains you.
It does not define you.
Only your next decision does.
