Something that came to mind....

What is your past made up off?? Secrets you want to keep hidden? Mistakes you thought were right at the time, but now you believed you shouldn't have made? Shattered dreams? Lost of your loved ones? So much trauma you had to take-off the rear-view mirror?

Its sad that even after hours of motivational speeches and ''pick yourself up'' pep-talk from friends and families, the past glooms above our heads like a dark-black cloud hanging on Archie Andrews head...but if anyone of you have been in this situation and thought its the end or something like a reccuring ulcer then its time you re-arrange your life, prioritize , work on those aspects your weak in. Take your situtation into consideration and work in a way that will most likely satisfy the statement that anything that doesn't kill you will make you stronger . Its a tough, tough ask but there's no harm in trying. And the journey is worthwhile. Doesn't matter where you end up. As long its productive and progressive(You can't measure success with a scale).

And finally, pray....a lot. Because prayer alone is incomplete when there is so much you have to do. Also, deferment could cause you to re-lapse. Try and enjoy the journey, take in the sights and kept an optimistic mind. Remember the glass is always full to the true optimist.
