Are You Living a Life of Regret?
Regrets... Mistakes... is your past your today and
will it be your tomorrow too?
We all make mistakes, we would not be human if we
did not.
And yes it is
important to acknowledge, learn and face up to any consequences but spending
a lot of time regretting them is not okay!
It is not okay to live in past regrets!
It is not okay to live that time over-and-over
again like a stuck record!
It is not okay to feel guilty forever as you
will NOT have a future and it is NOT okay to let someone else make you
always feel guilty over the past either!
The past is just that, the day that was
before today, while today is the
here-and-now, your current moment in time.
Your future is your tomorrow and depends upon the today
that you are living now.
If you live your
today, your current moment, living in
your-day-before what will your tomorrow
be?
It will not be
a...tomorrow but, instead, it will be
the ghost of your-days-before... your
past!
Do you want to
live as a ghost from your past and
let your, today and your, tomorrows be overshadowed with regrets
and DEFINE who you really are?
If NO, then....
OWN your mistakes - too often we look to others,
circumstances or something else to blame. If we are ever to 'let things go' and
get over the past we need to be able to acknowledge our actions, words, deeds
(or whatever).
APOLOGISE - wow ... this can be difficult at
times and requires us to admit certain weaknesses but, how empowering is it to
acknowledge and ask for forgiveness. Turn this around and recognize this as an
opportunity for you to show your strength... of character!
LOOK and LEARN from others - having an open
mind and heart gives us opportunities to learn from those around us - their
mistakes as much as their triumphs! This
can be a timely reminder that even the most inspirational people make mistakes
from time to time!
Cultivate POSITIVE CHANGE - often
mistakes disappoint others around us and those we love - friends, family,
colleagues, etc., (as well as ourselves) who come to view us differently
because of what we have done. But... making positive change will be so very
empowering and become a new yard-stick
with which to live your life by.
Accepting and forgiving your mistakes opens a door
for a future,
while focusing on the positives will bring in a new
light into your life.
So, instead of letting adversity and regret make you
weaker
let it empower you, and strengthen your might!
Live your life NOT in vain regrets my friends but, instead, with a strength and
resolve of taking each day and making it the best that you can. As then, and only then, will you truly be
able to step into your future... one without the ghosts of the past lurking
within!
