Bad drama, bad experiences, bad relationships, past mistakes, and old beliefs? Here are some tips to leave those events in the past so you can focus on today and tomorrow. Driving down the road of life, we all look through our windshields. We focus on where we are, what’s going on around us, and where we want to go. But we also look at the rearview mirror to see where we’ve been and what happened back there. Now, what’s in your mind’s rearview mirror? Bad drama, bad experiences, bad relationships, past mistakes, and old beliefs? Let’s categorize all of that as baggage. You’ve got baggage in your rearview mirror. Oftentimes we’re tempted to drive down the road of life focusing only on the rearview mirror.
