So it’s come to this…
(I’ve always wanted to say that)
The dawn of a new year approaches, full of potential and possibility… and the chance to make a better future for ourselves.

But having just gotten done telling you about the problems with making the wrong promises and resolutions for the new year, I want to talk about the past.
It seems only appropriate that while we’re focusing on where we’re planning on going, that we take a moment to stop and take a long look at where we’ve been. For many of us, the past is just that – it’s past. But for far too many… the past is always with us, keeping old wounds open, old regrets fresh and pain from long ago at the forefront of our minds.
The past can be a great utility… or it can be an anchor, holding us down. It’s all too tempting to let the memory of mistakes and failures holding us back from who we could be, to keep us chained to the ground instead of soaring through the heavens.
So today, I want you to learn to let go of the past. It’s time to learn how to fly.
