Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any other one thing. - ABRAHAM LINCOLN ...did you know that your past, present and future can and do without failure directly and indirectly affect your outlook and the outcome in your life? THE PAST Have you ever done something that was so inopportune you couldn't forgive yourself? Have you ever made a mistake that you're still blaming yourself for? Are you still torturing yourself with the thought that only if you could've done it differently, the outcome would be more appropriate? Well... here's good news! You don't have to hold this burden in your heart for as long as you live. Release it. Set yourself free. Unfortunately, if you hold on to bad memories, you're depriving yourself of your own wellbeing and sound mental and emotional health. You're making yourself a prisoner of the past. This will adversely affect your capacity to act in the present moment. You will not be able to think clearly and you will lose your focus if you are still lingering in the shadows of your darkened past. No matter what you do, you cannot reverse or otherwise change history. So let bygones be bygones. There is no need to worry about something you have no control over? Let go of the past, but let the LESSONS remain. Whatever lesson you've learned will be of utmost importance to the fulfillment of your goals and endeavors in the future. These lessons are your mentors that will inevitably teach you the hard way and more often than not the right way; but nevertheless, success comes to those who are willing to take the risk and pay the price for their actions. And what about the successes you had in the past? How did you feel when you accomplished something truly exceptional? It felt great didn't it? Well then, use these past experiences in your present ventures to encourage you and to motivate you. These memorable experiences will bring a positive aura of enthusiasm and will remind you that you have the power to achieve anything with the right attitude and resolve. Recall these affirmative memories in everything that you do and you will see amazing results in all your undertakings. THE FUTURE Now how can the future influence your success if it hasn't occurred yet? The answer is simple. Your burning passion to attain your ideal life in the future will become the motivating factor that will prod and push you to take the essential steps in the present moment. Conceive your future in the most vivid and wide-ranging ways possible. For instance, if you want to become wealthy, then take into consideration: 1) How much money you that you desire, when you intend to get acquire the money and your action plan to have that exact amount by your target date. 2) The vision of your and your lifestyle when you've attained the desired money; like the people you congregate with, the activities you engage in, the food you eat, the places you travel to, your home, the clothes you wear etc...you get the picture. These are the guiding forces that will chart the precise path to your intended destination. If you envision yourself as having attained them and focus all your efforts regardless of the impending obstacles ahead, then your inner power will release the proper energy that will enable you to do nearly anything necessary for you to achieve that in which you are in hot pursuit of... Your desired end result! THE PRESENT The present moment is always the time to ACT. Ready or not, you must act now! Mistakes will be made, but 'revisioning' your plan will almost always act as the stepping stones to the attainment of success. Lay procrastination aside. One delay or excuse will generate a chain reaction or postponements and alibis that may possibly never end. On no account, should you ever allow fear to get in your way. Some people are struck by the threats of failures, setbacks, or criticisms. What they don't realize is that the majority of successful people had to pass through "the eye of the needle" in order to get to where they were going. Act and react intelligently. Use your past mistakes as a roadmap to avoid future gaffes. Let the vision of your ideal life in the future compel you to carry out your plans and catapult you to attain your deepest desires. |
