The past is funny.
It’s the only thing in your life that can’t do anything new… yet still manages to show up like a pushy consultant and explain why you’re failing.
Naturally, it brings a clipboard.
Of course, it clears its throat. Then, it says things like:
- “Remember that time you messed up?”
- “Remember how you were embarrassed?”
- “Remember when it didn’t work and you looked ridiculous?”
Yes, Past. I remember. You have mentioned it weekly. Sometimes daily. Occasionally in the shower for dramatic effect.
But here’s the spin nobody talks about:
Your past doesn’t have a fixed meaning. It has a job opening.
And the present is hiring.
Most people treat the past like a permanent verdict. Like it’s laminated. Like it came with a judge’s stamp and a dramatic gavel sound.
But the past is more like raw footage.
Same clips… different edit.
And the editor is what you choose today.
The Present Works in Mysterious Ways
- You asked for clarity, and the present handed you confusion with a flashlight.
- You asked for confidence, and it gave you a moment where your voice shook… and you did it anyway.
- You asked for “alignment,” and it gave you one brave boundary and two uncomfortable conversations with people who preferred you polite, quiet, and convenient.
Rude.
Accurate.
Effective.
Because the present isn’t trying to make you comfortable. It’s trying to make you free
How Freedom Changes the Past
And freedom does this wild thing: it reaches back and changes what the old stuff means.
- That heartbreak? It becomes your standards.
- That detour? It becomes your discernment.
- That “I can’t believe I allowed that”? It becomes the moment you stopped betraying yourself.
It’s not that the past magically becomes cute.
It’s that the past stops being your identity and starts being your résumé.
And the present is the interview.
A Practical Question to Ask
So let’s get very practical (and slightly petty):
If the past shows up today with its clipboard and its greatest hits, ask it one question:
“What are you here to qualify me for?”
Not “What are you here to shame me for?”
Not “What are you here to punish me for?”
Qualify.
Because the present is where you turn old pain into a new skillset.
The Biggest Surprise
And one day you’ll look back and realize the biggest surprise wasn’t getting what you wanted.
It was getting something better:
A you who can finally say, “That happened… and look what I built from it.”
A stronger you.
A clearer you.
