Heartache crushes the spirit.
—Proverbs 15:13
Hiking the trails of past decisions is unproductive exercise …
I should have stayed in school.
I should have majored in something else.
I should have gone for a different job.
I should have married someone else.
I should have spent more time with my children.
Obsessing about squandered opportunities, relentless second-guessing about roads taken, and conviction that past missteps eliminate the possibility of a bright future are ingredients of sure defeat.
“It’s too late to build a meaningful life.”
Says who?
The worker who signs on at the eleventh hour gets a full day’s pay in God’s labor pool.
Your past doesn’t determine your future unless you cave in. Yogi got it right: “It ain’t over ’til it’s over.”
God doesn’t give up on you because of your past; he has his eye on your future.
Create a new and improved version of you.
