Do Better When You Know Better

Allowing the past to affect our self image is easy. Everyday I see people struggling with the consequences of their past choices...I've been there many times myself.

Accepting that I don't have the ability to affect my previous actions, but I do have the ability to make better choices today because I "know better" has been transformative. Real change occurs by focusing on what is in our control-- our thoughts, beliefs and actions influenced by the knowledge we have today without the shame of yesterday.
