History is like a rich storehouse of treasures to which you can go for help, inspiration, and instruction.
It is not a house you move into, or else you would leave your life, your impact in the present, and your vision for the future.
It cannot be used as a trailer, dragging behind you lock, stock and barrel, because that is too heavy a weight for anyone to carry.
It should not be ignored, because why should you start over with nothing when your ancestors have worked so hard to provide you with starter seed for a beautiful garden?
Pick and choose from the history storehouse which family values, which examples of heroism, which cautionary tales you will use to build your own life story. Use your history wisely and you will be richer than anyone around you.
