When you go back and remember past life experiences, how do you feel? Are you proud or ashamed of the experience? How does it affect the way you live today? Did it help you become more successful? Was it rewarding? Would you change anything?
The how and why matter in shaping how you think and view the world around you today. The band or unpleasant experiences can still be rewarding if they brought you closer to God. Anything that helps you see God more clearly and draws you closer to Him is a rewarding experience.
Look at your experiences honestly and objectively. Acknowledge who you were and where you were at that point in your life. Write down the lessons you learns, so that they can be seen and organized more clearly. Then you can write down your story with a healthy and honest perspective. You don't have to write your story as long as you know it truthfully and able to set goals on how you want to see things moving forward.
We are not to just hear God's Word, but we are to apply it our lives. This is how Jesus defines our lives: he is in it with you or he is not in it at all. How is living life with Jesus impacting your life today?
Not everything that happens in life is good, but God will use them for good. If you allow God to use the pain, disappointment, and fear, then He can shape your life into something strong and useful. The process takes time. Life is a journey, but God will finish what He has begun in you.
When you understand who you are (personality, spiritual gifts, abilities, and passions), then you can see your experiences more clearly. They help you formulate what your life is today. It can help you plan how you want to see your life in the future. As long as your plans align with God's plans for your life, then you can trust that it will happen.
