Letting go of the past...

Why is it so hard for people (yes especially me) to let go of the past? It's not as if it can be changed as we have discovered earlier. It's over! It's history! Granted, it is wise to study it, learn from it, and install safeguards to protect yourself from repeating similar mistakes. Fine! Do that! But then move on without REGRET (keyword)!!!!! It's the only logical next step..... So much easier said then done sometimes.....

Thought is energy, arguably the most powerful energy. That which receives the focus of our thoughts, our energy, subsequently gains power. Why give power to an unworthy cause, event, or individual that can not be changed and is out of your control? Why empower the weak? The powerful becomes our reality! The amazing thing is ... the choice of what receives the focus of our thoughts and energy is entirely ours to make (I know I know here he goes again on choice....well I won't...just make it!!!). Fail to choose wisely, giving power to past issues that can not be changed, and we'll meet the present day with great anxiety and fear. Go overboard and we'll be consumed by that anxiety and fear, even paralyzed by it, letting it control us and every aspect of our life, unable to see what is beautiful around us and was always there. Fail to realize our mistakes in time and the beautiful around us will flee as we repeat history. But if we instead choose wisely, letting go of that which can not be changed or controlled, moving on without regret, gifting the energy of our thoughts to today and the tomorrow we desire, that gift will be returned to us in time. Give the power to those who deserve it!!! The powerful becomes our reality!

This all ties into the related concept of taking responsibility for our own happiness. But that was a topic in one of my blogs last Tuesday........ ¶ 6:18 AM
