“You have power over your mind - not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.” - Marcus Aurelius

Deciding who you'd like to be most often starts with leaving the parts of you you no longer want to carry around. So reminisce. Think back, examine. Because you didn't just arrive at today. This moment is the result of thousands upon thousands of steps and conversations and decisions. our lives are sculpted like ocean shores one wave one gust of wind at a time and sure there were certainly events that expedited the process but the point is holistically landscapes take time to materialize as did this one

but you're not confined to this moment in fact you're in and in of itself is an idea. You is a story that incorporates the things you used to do, places you used to go, people you used to know. You is not right now. You is how you summarize the path that created right now. But you can change because you will always mean what you decide it does. So reminisce, think back, examine, and feel the warmth of the good times, bask in the moments that lit up your soul.

But don't be afraid to pull back the curtain on those things that, well, maybe you aren't too proud of. The things that no longer defined you, perhaps never defined you to begin with. Because, see, before we cut ties with those stories and send them out to see, we must do the hard work of recognizing what they are. Before we can identify the life to be lived, we have to be able to see the one that will live no more. And so it's okay to walk down that road. Those things are no longer you.

They are ideas, old ideas, bad ideas, and so they will be relegated to the sands of time. They played their part as everything does. And now it's time. So reminisce. Think back, examine, grab what you love, and let it become your guiding light. Take hold of the meaningful and pour it into the new you,

the one you're making now, the one that matters now. You'll need it. Because the old you, it'll try to reemerge. It'll present itself in the shape of old faces with old expectations. Old places connected to old habits, old stories that just don't want to end. But these characters, they played their part. And thank God they did, because now they're recognizable. Now you know to cut ties.

You know, I wish it weren't so. I think we all do, but sometimes life requires that we take. touch that burning hot stove in order to understand that it's hot. It's easy to dismiss these occurrences as a bad thing or wasted time. But I think they're a beautiful thing. Recognizing and mitigating our mistake leaves us with a new foundation to build on a blank canvas. It makes you not a prisoner to yesterday's work, it makes you an artist again. A designer, a creator.

So reminisce. Think back and examine. But not to hold on. Reminous to let go. To say the goodbyes that will make space for the hellos. To free yourself of excess that will make space for the necessities. You've spent a long time designing you. Some of it ideal, but all of it.

valuable in its own unique way. The reality is that now, in this current moment, not all of it needs to come with you. So reminisce, think back, examine, so that before you move ahead, you know exactly what needs to be left behind.
