"When
you make a mistake, don't look back at it long. Take
the reason of the thing into your mind and then look
forward. Mistakes are lessons of wisdom. The past
cannot be changed. The future is yet in your power."
~Hugh White
Good morning! When I was about
sixteen I had one of those "light-bulb" moments.
As a teen I battled Obsessive Compulsive
Disorder (and still do today), but at that point
I had not yet been diagnosed and my thoughts and
emotions were all over the board. I often felt
discouraged, would beat myself up, or feel
guilty--many times for things completely outside
of my control.
I
also lived in a very small town, about 300
residents in all. There was a local cafe where
many would cluster and discuss the "town
gossip." I was amazed at how much of this gossip
focused on the negative and on the past. As I
listened, I realized that in my mind, I was
doing much the same thing. I was rehashing the
past, feeling guilt for it, and losing the
present moment as I battled something from
yesterday.
The
"light-bulb" moment came when I asked myself,
"How would my life change if I spent 9/10'ths of
that time, focusing on changing the PRESENT
instead of rehashing the past?" Not only did I
ask the question, I began living the answer. My
life changed in phenomenal ways. By living in
the moment, yet learning from the past, the
concept of "regret" became a rare one for me
because I was making today count.
At
sixteen, I didn't realize that moment would
become the first building block for living a
content and complete life. I didn't know that
would be the building block for the Change Your
Life Challenge program that has helped over
10,000 women find the same contentment in all
areas of their lives.
Your Turn:
What if you spent 9/10ths of the time where you
think about the past, changing the present? I
know you would realize wonderful things. Try it
this for 30 days. This simple concept can
revolutionize your life.
Your Affirmation:
I learn from the past, but I don't sit in
detention ...instead I move forward and maximize
the moment.
