It isn’t where you came from, it’s where you’re going that counts.
~ Ella Fitzgerald
I just stumbled on this quote in my weekly quote-quest, and was struck by how similar it was to something I’ve been saying for awhile – “It ain’t where you’ve been, it’s where you’re going” (true story – it’s on my Facebook page). I’m a firm believer that although our past affects who we are as individuals, it doesn’t define us (another similar quote worth mentioning: “My past does not equal my future” ~ Lisa Nichols). Sometimes that’s a tough belief to overcome.
