But the truth of the matte is that where you came from is not important but where you are going is what counts. If you will continue to dwell in there past, rarely will you forge ahead especially if your past was traumatizing. Even the successful people today must have come a long way from the severe challenges of life to real success that they attained because they did not look back.
