If you are not learning your lessons from the past you are doomed to continue repeating the same mistakes. Consider yourself warned.
Each of us has a unique life history. We have learned different lessons, have had special circumstances, and have had some similar, as well as unique, experiences. This past – mentally, physically, spiritually and emotionally – has contributed today to:
- who we are
- how we react
- how we feel
- what we believe
- what we want
- what we know
- what we don’t know
- our perceptions
- our expectations.
Our past can be a tyrant that haunts every waking moment of our life with:
- past mistakes
- past failures
- unrealized dreams
- lost hopes
- disappointment
- frustration
- stress and anxiety.
OR, it can be a wonderful and loving teacher that guides our present and helps us in our future with:
- lessons learned
- faith and hope
- belief and confidence
- challenges met
- failures and problems overcome.
How is your past influencing your life?
No one gets all positives or negatives in his life. We all have our share of blessings and frustrations, hope and despair, opportunities and problems, and disappointments and surprises.
What are you taking from your past into your future?
Motivation quote for the week: Rather than cursing the past, bless it.
