Take care of your past

Future, Legacy, Today isn't today

In life there is a cycle.  What you do in the present often determines your future.  Sounds simple, right?

It is simple until we realize that we’ve left out one important reality.  That reality being: What we do now (in our present) ultimately determines our past, our legacy, our history, our yesterday.  How our story will be told.

Believe it or not, we have more past than future.  And today isn’t really today, either.  It’s yesterday.  Let the future take care of itself.  It will be just fine as long as we do a good job at taking care of yesterday.
