Don’t hold yourself prisoner to what you wanted and needed once upon a time.

Times change. People change. Situations change.

You change. You have changed...and you will change.

What the you of the past wanted and needed may not be the same as what the you of today wants and needs.

We need to be gentle with past versions of ourselves— to understand that we often did our best with the tools we had at the moment.

But that doesn’t mean we need to cling to the wants and needs of our past selves if we’ve evolved past them.

Make sure your values and goals reflect the you of right now— not the you of the past.

Give yourself permission to grow and change— and to leave behind what you once wanted and needed, if they no longer fit who you’ve become.
