Toward the end of season 1 of House of Cards, a restaurant owner loses his business. The person foreclosing on him asks if he’d like to take a memento. “I’ve never been one for looking back,” he says. We can’t let our past circumstances impede our future. It can strengthen us, teach us, and inspire us. We can’t let it stop us. We’ve got to move up, on, over, and through. The past isn’t changing. The present is what it is. The future is for us to design.
