The Past Does NOT Equal the Future

With each new sunrise we are given the opportunity to start fresh and paint the canvas that is our life. Provided we are willing to acknowledge that we can do so. That’s right, no matter how many things may have gone wrong for you up to this point in your life, if you’re willing to do so you can start over and put any negative events behind you.

Your past doesn’t have to define your future — as long as you make the commitment not to allow it to do so.

The sooner you get to where you can move past life’s shortcomings the sooner you will be able to start taking more advantage of the vast opportunities that life affords those who don’t allow themselves to stay stuck in the past.

As the saying so eloquently goes… The past is in the past, the future we do not know yet, and the present is a gift we can give ourselves. Perhaps that’s not exactly how you heard it said, but I think the point is still clear.

You are now at a crossroads. This is your opportunity to make the most important decision you will ever make. Forget your past. Who are you now? Who have you decided you really are now? Don’t think about who you have been. Who are you now? Who have you decided to become? Make this decision consciously. Make it carefully. Make it powerfully. ~ Anthony Robbins
