This sign highlights the places that have been visited or have been significant in the lives of the people who made the sign. As I read the names of the places I began to have a sense of who they are and what is important to them. I could understand how far they have traveled and imagine the kinds of experiences they might have had.
To know where you are going you need to understand and embrace where you have been. That means embracing all the things about the past – the good, the bad and the ugly – because those things are what have brought you to who and where you are today. Without them you would most likely be in a very different place, be a different person, and maybe even have different people in your life. Everything we are hinges on who we have been and what we experienced in days gone by.
So what places would you highlight on your sign? What milestones or decisions have lead you to where you are today? What things are you grateful for that have helped you become the person you are today? Take time to reflect on who you are now and where you want to be in the future.
