Great piece, my favorite line was "People who stand tall, literally and figuratively, don't carry the past. They've set it down. You use the giant stone analogy - I have a similar one I've heard. Your past is backpack and you fill it with regrets and remorse and guilt and all of these things are heavy and make the backpack heavy - weighing down. Only by reviewing what's in your backpack and removing it can you lighten the load. Just one of many great lessons packed in this article, thanks for sharing!
