Published by Whoever said you have to live with the past? You do not have to live with the past. God expects us to live in the present. You cannot hope to maximize living in the present while still living with the past. Why add the burden of yesterday to today’s burden. Here is what you can do with your past in 5 simple steps.
Leave the past in the past: I am not saying the past is not important. It is important but definitely not so important that it becomes like an albatross around your neck. Your past may have regrets, mistakes and even some achievements and successes but these are all insignificant compared to what God is bringing you to in the present and even in the future. I advocate now and always that rather than live with your past leave your past in the past. One thing you must do if you must forge ahead is leave your past behind.
Believe in God: I am sure of this as i am sure that I have two arms. Only God can erase the failures and pains of your past. Only God can take your past and give you a brand new beginning. Education won’t do it. Looks or money will not do it. Love can’t either. Believe God by giving him your past no matter how colorless or colorful it maybe. Only He can take you from where you are to where you ought to be. Believe and trust God enough to commit your past in to his able and mighty hands.
Believe in yourself: Even if you believe in God and you do not believe in yourself you will not amount too much or reach where God wants you to reach. Do not let your past limit you or what you can do. Your today holds more promise than your yesterday and certainly your future cannot compare with the past. You can still be successful. You can win in life and be the best at what you do if only you will just believe in you.
Start again and forge ahead: Failures are those who live in the past even though they are alive in the present. Failures are those who allow the past to keep them from trying. Failures are those who commit suicide by hanging the rope of the past around their own necks. Only failures allow the past stop them from reaching their dreams and aspirations. You are a failure when you are down and refuse to get up. You can start again and achieve far much more than you even imagine you could. Get up, stay up and forge ahead in life despite the past.
Never, never, never give up: I was not even born when Churchill said this but it is still relevant till tomorrow for those who will follow the path of success. Life does not award winners medals to quitters. Many of those who quit are burdened by a past filled with mistakes and failed attempts. Winners let go of the past and hold onto the future. Losers hold onto the past and let go of the future. Winners do not let the past torture them into quitting before they win but losers torture themselves with the past and keep from winning in the present by quitting.
My take on this is do not live with the past rather let go of the past.
