"The Man That I Used to Be"

If hindsight is 20/20, then my vision is perfect! But then again, of course "hindsight" is 20/20. What I now know is after-the-fact. I might share the same name and resemblance to "The Man That I Used to Be," but that is exactly where all similarities cease to further exist. We no longer have anything in common.

If you truly are what you repeatedly do, then I should effectively change my name to "Growth Spurt." I cannot stop hitting them and the more that I "Grow Through" them, the farther away I migrate from "The Man That I Used to Be."

My purpose has already been planned and I plan to fulfill my purpose, at no less then "100%."

Who I am today now serves as a testimony to "The Man That I Used to Be," good, bad and otherwise. Now that I know what I know, I can never revert back or ever stake claim to ignorance again. The past is exactly where it belongs.

"The Man That I Used to Be" pales in comparison against the measuring stick that I now use to gauge my new level of maturation for "The Man That I Am."

"Growth Spurts" for children means "new clothes." "Growth Spurts" for me means new way of Life, new way of living and a purge of toxic things and people that are contrary to the notion of growth.

For what I am today, what I will be tomorrow and what I shall inherit forevermore, I am grateful, good, bad and otherwise, to "The Man That I Used to Be."
