This journal together with the empty packs of protein powder are memorable and important items
which I have kept for months now. Behind the emptiness of the packs lies the beginning of a new
chapter in my life. Since the beginning of my fitness journey, I started to take notes whenever I
went to the gym and made it a habit to never throw away any of the supplement packs that I’ve
purchased. This is mostly because it served as a reminder to my current self that it was my past
self's simple decision to go out and make a change that molded who I am today.
The decisions made by us in the present determines the direction we take in the future. It is
through these decisions that we gain knowledge and learn more about ourselves. The same is
true for historical sources; we learn about what happened in the past through their diaries, letters,
interviews, oral histories, photographs, newspaper articles, government records, poems, novels,
plays, and music which reinforces our current understanding and assists us in our upcoming
endeavors.
