I like how this starts with an injunction: “Shelve your history.” I will!

I love this one Vidya! So often we let our past dictate our future simply because it’s the comfort zone that we’ve created for ourselves. It’s so important to push past this a little each day if we want to create the amazing future that awaits us!

Thank you for this one!

Reply
Vidya Sury February 22, 2012 at 12:08 pm

Yes, Paige, you’re right. Life would be so mediocre if we did not stretch ourselves. Thank you for stopping by!
