The people you meet are either a reflection of the past or a guide toward the future. It’s difficult to know which, but…

The reflections keep you in the past. They show you who you were. They are what you stubbornly cling to because you are too afraid to let go.

The guides toward the future propel you forward. They show you who you are and who you can be. They are what you optimistically strive for as a starry-eyed dreamer.

When you meet the reflections of the past, acknowledge them and give them your love, support, and guidance. But know that it is okay to leave them in the past.

When you meet the guides towards the future, embrace them and their wisdom. Let them hold your hand and lead the way. Know it is okay to add what they have to offer to what you already have.

Maybe then, you can be closer to where you want to be in the present.
