The guy I use to be..

It's interesting to look back on your life and reflect on who you use to be. Where you came from and where you went. Weather it be good or bad, I feel reflection is always a great thing. It gives you a value of you self worth. Now I hope this isn't a depressing thought for any of you. My goal with this is to either inspire some of you to get your life together, or to make some of you happy by looking at the prides and joys that lead to your successes.
 My life has been a combination of both, successes and disappointments, as I feel most of the world's inhabitants have in common with me. The way I have always been geared though is to try my hardest to leave the past lay and only use it as a perspective on how to handle present and future situations. If it is something I am particularly proud of I think of what it took me to get to that success and try to repeat the process on my future endeavors. Then I focus on the reciprocal for the negative things in my past and use it as a pivot point of what not to repeat. Now, I know it's only human nature to repeat some mistakes over. But, the goal is to work against repeating them and eventually overcoming them. Lately I have been thinking of how I felt back in Jr. High School. Free, or at least with very minimal inhibitions. I felt like I could achieve anything "on top of the world", if you will. Then, after some adversity in sports, challenges with grades, difficulty finding work, issues with friends and a few terrible love relationships later, I found myself lacking the feeling of ease I once had.
  So lately I am reflecting back to my younger self. Trying to push to get back in the frame of mind where no matter what comes at me I'm king of my destiny and can conquer anything. Not to erase the hard lessons of the past but to know they are over and I've learned from them. I hope you all can relate and can find they strength from your past and present to be kings and queens of your own life and conquer it!
