Dwelling in the past ...

I often wonder what really makes us who we are.

Is it the past or is it by looking forward into the future? Beats me but I think it is the past.

Our past carries lots of victories as well as defeats. We learn from falls and cherish success. Thus doesn't it make sense that we are who we are because of our past?

Then again, there are people who take a fall and later find it very hard to pick themselves up despite numerous struggles. Is it because they failed to rid off the inner demon of a past failure or experience? ( not sure if grammar is correct here )

I for sure am someone who oftens dwell in the past. That is who I am. It can be quite a pretty traumatic experience.

We allowed our emotions to dwell in a past experience that was utterly negative that we totally forget what our future can still bring to us if we stood up well and strong.

It is a mix of emotions. A mix of both friendly and negative forces that makes us who we are. It is what we did in the past that shapes our future.

We can only see success if we choose what emotions or experiences to carry with us .

We learn from past defeats but not dwell in it. We pick up the positive vibes when we smelt success and would very much want to taste it again. Only this way can success finds its way into our lives.

At least that is how I think the past indeed builds our future.
