The past is all gone. Closed book. If you are fighting for a righteous cause today, it is irrelevant that you may have had (or still have) a struggle with alcoholism, got divorced three times, dropped out of college when you should have stayed, hurt that business partner with a breach of trust, or self-harmed your way through your teenage years. Those traumas and trials can all be processed to turn the sh*t into manure and roses. Just keep fighting today for what is righteous, because you know it is right. The clue is in the name!
If I hadn't broken and rebuilt myself several times, pretty sure I wouldn't be here today. It was good practice for this.
It's going to happen again too. I think the future is going to be great, but it won't be all smooth sailing.
