"No, dear brothers and sisters, I have not achieved it, but I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead." 
Philippians 3:13

How can you focus on what is ahead of you, if you continue to look back. There is one thing certain, you can't change the past but you can change the future. Focusing on success and virtue is what God is trying to tell us. Nicole Soban, from Program 13 once said, "Sometimes the hardest part isn't letting go but rather learning to start over." Our lives are like big, historical novels. The actions we do, tell a story. We have our own theme, characters, setting and everything else that goes with a novel. We don't physically write it, but it is stored and kept safe by God. God has already read and has passed the tests that are in our stories. That's why he wants us to go to Him. We have to learn when to go on to that next chapter in our lives and use what we have learned in our past, to create a better future for our amazing stories. The best is yet to come. Keep believing.
