The later!. Each step completes me!.
Whatever has become part of my Self, can never be left out, can never be forgotten!. New experiences just add to the old ones!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Its a cycle!. When you step into forward motion, you are leaving a foot back, but moving forward with the other foot, but it catches up to the other foot still!.

In life, when we "move forward" we might gain new insights which causes us to leave our former selves, but you have still moved forward, never really complete!. New experiences and incidences causes us to think and rethink who we are- so in my opinion we aren't complete, just somewhat satisfied with the Now!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I don't feel as though I will ever be complete, life gets boring that way!. I also don't feel as if I left a part of me behind!. Every step of the way is creating who I am!. My basic self will never change, it was created and nurtured as a child!. I will always have the same fundamental morals and ethics that guide me!. Life is a wonderful experience and I am having a blast!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It's a little of both!. Each forward step is progress, adding to what I have accomplished and bringing me closer to completeness!.
On the other hand, with each forward step I leave my footprint (a record of my past)!. I am no longer quite the same person I was before I took that additional step!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Not always!.!.!.I think I shed those parts of me that I don't really need anymore, the parts that were mostly a mask I hid behind!. But at the same time!.!.!.taking steps forward, true steps forward, does complete me!. I think it happens all at once, like going through some sort of tunnel!.!.!.I'm so aware of the process now and I'm amazed every day :)Www@QuestionHome@Com

I do feel as I move forward in life I do leave a part of myself behind, but it's not the part that is "me-now"!. When I learn new knowledge that changes my perspective in life, there is a part of me that disposes of the "prior" thinking (which is left behind)!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

i leave a part of myself behind simply because the more i learn about myself (& yeah i guess everything else in general)
the more complicated things seem!.!.

almost like i am starting right back where i began!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Neither!. I exist!. Everything I do modifies the conditions that existence!. There is no backward!. There is no completion!. Only termination at death!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Yes!. We actually do leave something from before as we advance into different (better!?) ways of perceiving the world around us!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I'm learning every day!. I may change, but that is enrichment!. I don't leave a part of myself behind!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The parts left behind remain in memories!. No one can take those away from you!Www@QuestionHome@Com
