You can't reach the future successfully unless you've touched the past. -John C. Maxwell
My friend,
Part of my love for this quote comes from an even older quote from George Santayana which states, "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."
All of life is a lesson.
Each situation you face is an opportunity to learn, grow, and become better.
When you remember past lessons and begin applying them to the current situations you face, you get better as a whole.
Hopefully, from each lesson you learn, you are conditioned to take the principles you learned and apply them to reach for a higher level of success -- and step into a new dimension of your leadership potential.
Don't forget the past.
Instead, learn from it, grow from it, and reach for a greater tomorrow because of it.
Your legacy depends on it.
