I was first into class today. Not that unusual, considering I live quite far away from school. On my way to school today, I thought a lot about some of my past mistakes, failures and regrets. I’m not a perfect person. God knows I am a heavily flawed individual. But that should never be an excuse.

Being a Better Son, Better Brother, Better Everyone.

As those past mistakes and failures came flooding back to me, the one thought 💭 I kept coming back to is, I need to do better. I can’t change any of my past mistakes. I can’t undo the kinds of disappointments I may have created for my parents, or to those that I might have let down in the past. Nothing can be done to change or erase my ugly past.

But what I want to do is to ensure that from this very moment onwards, I make the best/most of this second chance that I have been given. Use it to do better. Be a better son, be a better sibling to my younger brother and older sister, be a better person and friend in general. 

Today, I was reminded that our past doesn’t have to define us, it is what we choose to do right now, and moving forward that will ultimately define us.

Are you also trying to be better? In what ways are you making an effort to be better? I love to read about it in the comments.
