So many of us trudge ahead, into tomorrow, blanketed by the dark clouds of yesterday, but I’d like to encourage you NOT to let your past define you. You are not that person, and it’s essential to your emotional health to look forward. God knows you’re not perfect, yet He still has a calling on your life. He has an adventure waiting for you. He wants to equip you as a warrior in the battle for the soul of mankind (which is raging as we speak).
It’s time you tell the shadow in the rearview mirror to take a hike.
Seems it takes a thousand encouraging words to ease the hurt of one exasperated sigh; one off-the-cuff insult. Despite what we tell ourselves, our particular issues never give us permission to hurt someone's feelings.
I never wanna be "that guy."
Cranky Hank, Prime Minister of Petulance.
