Move on...don't forget
Do you ever sit and think to yourself...damn this is a small world, when all the people in your past have access to your present and that could only mean your past doesn't want to stop lingering around your existence. Then you think again, what could be so bad that your past scares you? Is it a grave secret you want to keep to yourself? A bad encounter? An abusive childhood? Or just that one person you don't like and they have no intention of going away.
People say forget and move on, I say take it of your mind. We never really move on from the past.We walk with it every day burdened heavily in our hearts and soul. You want to know why we don't forget and move on? Its because the encounters of our lives in the past are what build us into the people we are today. What goes around must come round
If You grew up without a father you will always strive to be the father you didn't have in your childhood. You grew up in hatred you strive to bring back the love wherever you go. You didn't go to the best of schools you strive to give your children the best education. You grew up in poverty you strive to live a comfortable life. You have been in bad relationships you strive to make your current what you want it to be. We are always pushed to do better by our past, but then again there are a breed of people who are so engrossed in their ways of life they will never see the need to be different, another days story.
I remember that time I had completed campus, I could almost swear I was an adopted child. Nothing I did was ever right in the eyes of my folks. I needed more than a miracle to convince them to enter a partnership with me or rather support me through my numerous businesses ideas, suffice to say..they never took off (the business ideas). I grew weary, no one was employing and friends were too busy living flashy lives having fun and asking me to join. Nothing was going on here. I had reached rock bottom. I didn't feel comfortable at home I didn't feel comfortable anywhere else.
Everything good comes to you when you get out of your comfort zone they say. I don't really think I had a comfort zone. I was hanging in the balance. I worked manual jobs, hanged around with "the common folk" I had to start somewhere. Little by little i expanded my horizons opened up to better ideas and then everything started falling in place. I don't want to say I have made it because we really never get to making it. Life is a struggle and just when you think you are comfortable the walls come tumbling down.
Fast forward afew years after and it all makes sense to me. People will want to see you succeed that is the only role they will play in your life but if you really want to cut a niche for yourself you need to get up from the passenger seat and take the wheel yourself. We all come from different backgrounds the way your parents raised you may be different from how mine raised me (read tough love) but if you want to get freedom you need to get out there and look for it.
My dad once told me, "you are on your on." That was a terrible thing to say to a seventeen year old but now that am older I understand. While teaching a kid to ride a bike you can't hold on to them forever. There Will come a time you will have to let go, let him fall, let him get bruises and scars and eventually he will enjoy the thrill of riding that bike.
You can't keep holding on to things. Sometimes we have to let go, not because we don't care but we let go because we care and want to achieve a bigger good. Let things go, learn from yours and other people mistakes. Things eventually fall into place. Theres always a bigger picture focus on that.
Go on now..ride your bike...chase the sunset.
