Footprints...

Your life is a journey in the sand. The footprints you leave behind show where you have been. But they do not dictate where you can go.

Your life up to now may have been difficult and filled with disappointment or it has been easy and filled with good fortune. But that is irrelevant to the choices that are now available to you.  None of that matters now. At this moment in time, you can go in any direction you choose.

At this point in your journey, it is okay to look back at the footprints you have made.  You can learn much by looking at how you arrived. You can benefit from what you’ve learned and experienced.  You can use it all to thrust you forward into where you choose to go.  

The past is the past.  Now that you’ve been through your past, you have a much better idea of where you truly want to go or definitely where you don't want to go.  You know what you want to experience and what things you never want to experience again. So stop, look back at all the footprints you’ve left behind, and decide what will be the next footprints you will take.  Choose your footprints wisely.

At this very moment, your possibilities stretch out in countless directions, yet the next step you take must be in one specific direction. So where do you choose to go?  What do you choose to do?  Who do you choose to be?  You have a choice to make right now, so choose the very best and become the best you that you can be.
