Your Past Prepares You

Morning Mantra: "You are not defined by your past experiences, you are prepared by them."Your history does not determine whether or not you have the ability to become a decent human being. In fact, it can spur you on to break the cycle.You can grow up in chaos and become someone who creates peace. You can grow up being hurt and become someone who looks  tenderly after the wounds of others. You can grow up being taught to turn bitter from all of the wretched things they did to you and become someone who learns to forgive and move onward and upward and forward. You can grow up around anger and become a gentle spirit. You can grow up surrounded by artificial love and come to know how to recognize real love. Growing up in dysfunction doesn't mean you will become dysfunctional.  Actually it can have the reverse effect.  You have become who you are today because you choose your future over your past. Because you dug through rather than walked around and became the very thing that was absent in your life.This is from a poem called "Through" by Ullie-Kaye#BePreparedByYourPast #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #WordsToInspire #InspirationalQuotes #HorseHippieBoutique #SmallBusinessOwner #WomenOwned #HorseHippieBoutique
