There are things that happened last year that I didn't like. There are things that I went through that hurt and it felt like hell on Earth. If I have an opportunity not to go through with those experiences but those experiences sharpen me and made me who I am today.
I may not like the circumstances I went through.I may not get it at the time and it seems like it didn't make any sense while I was in it but I've been here long enough to recognize it and I've been through enough storms to know.

Maybe some of us make think ourselves as a victim for 2017. You can't get your victory if you don't think like a winner this 2018. You got to decide who you gonna be this 2018. Don't be hostage with other people opinions. Don't be a hostage on what went wrong. Wherever you are right now you have a purpose.
Last 2017, I wanted progress in life but progress is relative to priorities. Progress depends on the destination that you intended to arrive. Every step you make gets you closer to where you wanted but maybe you're facing the wrong way. When you carry the mentality that you are trapped in the situation you can't move forward.
Lesson learned: I don't have to like the event to celebrate the result. You don't have to like what "it felt like" to appreciate the change it is created.
I'm glad on what I went through. I'm not glad about the pain I'm glad in the pain there is a purpose. I cried enough about it. I spent enough time wishing it to go away. I'm glad they rejected me it showed God is enough and I don't need them.
I can't change my situation but I can make up my mind. You can't go to what's next that has my name on it, my assignment, my next breakthrough, my next level of influence, my next season of your real joy by facing your past. What happened happened it happened. Weather you wanted it or not. weather it is you fault or not. Acknowledge it. This are disappointment last year, some stuff that broke my heart. You cannot experience the purpose of God in 2018 with your head in the past. It's turnaround time. You cannot go this year by facing our past or facing other people. You cannot look to them and compare yourself to them and compare their situation to theirs. What happened to you is for you is not for them.
Let's move forward and get closer to our dreams.
