“Scars remind us where we’ve been but do not have to dictate where we are going.”
This was a quote I heard on the television show “Criminal Minds.” I know it’s not typical for someone to pick up on inspirational quotes off a crime show but sometimes an inspirational quote comes from places you least expect.
Something about this quote struck me. I know in my life and in the lives of every human being there are scars that reflect the hurts and struggles we have experienced. And I know, personally, I have struggled with letting those scars heal enough to be only reminders and not feel like fresh wounds.
This quote seems encouraging to me and also a good reminder to not let those scars tell me where I am to go. It’s so easy to think that I can’t go in some direction because the past and all its hurts have kept me from going in the direction I want.
So, where am I going now? What are the scars that are dictating that direction at this point? How do I get the scars to be only reminders and not directional challenges?
