This phrase from a song really resonates with me. It reminds me not to look back and mourn the “what ifs,” the “use-to-be,” or the “could have been.” Are you stuck in the past because your yesterday drastically changed your options for tomorrow?This phrase from a song really resonates with me.

This can be a difficult obstacle for many to navigate. Whether this occurs due to an illness, injury, job layoff, or other life change, this is a time to make a choice. Are you going to dwell on what used to be or should have been? Or are you going to take control, face forward, and take on the new challenges of a changed life? (Psalms 46:1-2)
Yeah, it’s that easy and that difficult. All of us have visions of what our life is going to be. Until *bam* life changes overnight. When that happens, it’s time to create a new you. There is a different person waiting for this opportunity to rise and be recognized. Are you going to give them a chance?
