Triumph

Pave The Way

"Well Done Sir!"

“Do not give your past

the power

to define your future.”

It is true

that our past experiences

shape us into who we are today,

but we must not let the past

hold us back.

It is what we do today

that will define our future.

Every moment is an opportunity

to ‘use’

to become the person we want to become.

By allowing ourselves

to be tied to the past,

we are making ourselves prisoners of the past,

and we will never grow and move forwards.

By learning from the past,

we are empowering ourselves

to ‘create’ the kind of future

that we want.

The skills and knowledge

that we have developed in the past,

can be used today

in defining our future.

Freeing ourselves from the past

will help us to dream

and

to achieve our dreams.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!
