At what point in
your life is it time to pick up the pieces and move forward? Too often, we
become saddled by life's challenges and trials. Instead of looking ahead, we
begin living in the past memories of those challenging events. We start asking
all the what if's and whys; and we quickly get hung up on them.
It is during these challenging
times, individuals lose sight of the meaningful people and opportunities around
them. Do not do that to yourself. I have said it before and I am saying it
again, "Don't sweat the small stuff." In the bigger scheme of life,
your primary focus is to move forward in your journey. Follow where your heart
and soul may lead you. This means that if you are emotionally bruised and
battered, it is time for you to wipe the dust from your knees, pick up the
broken pieces, and regain your vision. Once you are up and ready to open your
eyes to the path in front of you, you start to gain clarity. This progressive
movement is not only a way for you to survive life's trials, but a way for you
to thrive in your present and future life.
Stop looking backwards at
past failures and hardships. This habitual behavior will only hinder your
emotional health and wellbeing. Start using past challenges as learnings and
stepping stones to creating real success for yourself. Remember, you do not
need a cheering squad to boost your self-esteem and personal confidence. What
you do need is self-motivation to get moving.
Isaac Newton once said,
"An object that is at rest will tend to remain at rest. An object that is
in motion will tend to remain in motion." The hard truth is that if you
continue to tie yourself to past hurts and disappointments in life, you will
remain stuck in that pattern. You cannot grow, nor can you succeed if that is
what you are doing. Instead, I want you to focus on all the "can
be's" and all the "can do's". Stop living in a pile of broken
pieces that have been laying for years around you. Right now, you have prime
opportunity to pick those dusty pieces up, accept them for what they are, get
up, and get moving.
Whether you believe it or
not, once you condition your mind to be in "go mode", you will begin
to start seeing and realizing the fruits of your labor. If you had
relationships that did not work out before, you will see an improvement in the
way you begin harnessing relationships going forward. Further, if you want to
start seeing financial success and even physical wellbeing, letting go of the
past is not only a step in the right direction, but critical to your overall
health and prosperity.
Picking up the pieces
takes some time for many people. It is always easier said than done, I know.
The hard truth is that you must do it for your own sanity. It is unhealthy to
continually live with shattered dreams and experiences. You take those
experiences and broken pieces and gain insight from them. What can you do
differently this time? How can you make a relationship work now? What steps do
you need to take to improve your overall odds at acquiring the job you want?
What preparations are necessary for you to achieve your life's dreams? Stop
saying, "I can't," and start saying, "I can." Your mind,
heart and soul will thank you.
