Don’t allow your past to define you. Don’t allow the choices you made yesterday be the definition of who you are choosing to be today. The process of outgrowing is to be growing into better. You cannot allow what you been delivered from to hold you hostage in life. We talk about facing the struggles. Well, part of this process is standing in your growth and shutting the door to who you use to be, who you use to see, the old habits, the old perspectives, the past and keep moving forward in the process. Be reminded of your steps forward. Be reminded of your progress in the process. Never let anyone hold you in bondage to who you use to be. Who you are now by choice and growing is not who you use to be. Every step forward is progress. Keep stepping forward. I love what Pastor Touré Roberts said in his message Built to last: the way you conceited to the people and things of the past is not conducive to your growth or growing now.(paraphrased). Continue your growing and let nothing or no one hold you back.
