Don’t use the past as an excuse to miss out on the future ~
Anonymous
We all have a past that we are not 100% proud of. Whether
it’s due to regrets, coulda, woulda, shoulda circumstances, the past is the
past and should be left in the past. There is no sense in dwelling on something
that has already taken place and that you have no control over.
We should focus on what we have control over and what we
have learned from each past experience. When you think about the past, it
should be about what that experience taught you. We should think about how we can do
things better as well as have a better outcome. I’m a firm believer in when you know better you do better.
Our past mistakes or experiences does not define who we are.
Life was meant to be lived and learned. Even though others try and tell us what
not to do to prevent us from making mistakes, we must learn for ourselves. Of
course we have to see it for ourselves, so we can appreciate the valuable
lesson it was meant to teach us.
While it’s good to reminisce on our past because of course
all past experiences are not bad, it’s not good to STAY in the past. Even reminiscing on good past experiences can
have its disadvantages because we begin to desire what once was and want it back, when it reality things can never be like it once was.
Here’s why you
shouldn’t let the past make you miss out on your future.
1.
It hinders your growth to move forward - When we
stay focused on the past we become stagnate and that hinders us from moving
forward in life. You can never really be in the present because you are so
focused on the past. You can’t do both and expect change. In order for change
to happen you have to be willing to change your thought process. LET IT
GO…
2.
It messes with you mentally – Staying focused on
the past can have a mental effect and cause you to think irrationally. It can
produce long term effects, such as serious health issues. I’m sure whatever has
happened in the past, isn’t worth your life or health. LET IT GO...
3.
Pity-Party of 1 – When you are constantly
reliving bad past experiences, it eventually gets old. You are not aware of it
because you are stuck in the past, but others around you notice your obsession
with not letting go. While they are sympathetic to your feelings, after awhile
they are also over it. Eventually, people will stop wanting to be around you.
It’s considered negative energy and ain’t nobody got time for that. Is staying
in the past worth losing friends over? LET IT GO...
We all have things that we’ve struggled with in life.
Regardless of the circumstances we shouldn’t let it hinder our future. Talking
to someone that has the tools to help you deal with things in the past can
produce results. You have to be
open-minded and willing to work for it. Releasing things of the past
whether good or bad can help you achieve balance in your life. It can also open
the door to your future where all sorts of amazing things can happen. You could
be totally blocking your blessings. Don’t you think it’s time to move forward?
Well, my two cents says, it most certainly is. I believe you should take the
initiative to make your life better and do whatever it is you need to do to
finally be happy.
Let’s Chat:
Are you stuck in the past?
What will it take for you to move forward in life?
