Stop Living In The Past - Be Present!

"What's the good of dragging up sufferings which are over, of being unhappy now just because you were then." ~Seneca


Your greatest power is always in the present moment. When you re-live past misery in the present you are committing an act of violence against yourself. When misery from the past enters your consciousness you have the power to choose how to view it. What choice do you make?

Stop living in the past!  Just because something happened once before doesn't mean that it will happen again.  Too many people like to stay in the past because it serves them somehow.  They like to play the "victim."  They like to get sympathy.  It's a pain that they are familiar with so they hang on to it.  Don't be that person!!

Here are a couple of self confronting questions to bring you into the present: "What am I trying to accomplish today?" "What one thing am I not doing --that if I did do, would greatly improve my life six months from now? Think ahead, not behind.

Take some time and answer those questions. I know that the answers will give you the direction and power to make it happen.

Finally, two thoughts to take with you today. Your greatest power is ALWAYS in the present moment and the choice is YOURS to make.

Know. Be Known. Make A Difference!
