Stuck. Really stuck.
Our past can seem like an inescapable cage that weighs down on us every single day. Constantly we are reminded of prior pain, mistakes we have made, people we have lost, and the list of transgressions goes on and on.
The biggest danger of an upsetting past is when you allow it to define who you are in this moment and who you will become in the future. When this happens, you have birthed a creature that can truly define the rest of your life.
So what can you really do to free yourself from the constraints of the past?
The one thing you can do that starts the healing process is decide to clean everything up. Clean up the fights you've had with others, the broken relationships, the mistakes you've made, the failures you are responsible for and everything else that has a negative touch to it. Clean it all up. While it's not easy to do this, being able to lay past events to rest is one of the most important factors in being able to live in the present moment.
But the most beneficial aspect of cleaning up your past is that you give yourself a fresh slate to work on in this moment. When you aren't controlled by situations and events that have taken place previously, you can really show up in this moment and be whoever you want to be. Isn't that powerful? Wouldn't that be ideal?
While it's hard to not live in the past and equally hard to not live in the future, you must. You must because you can't go to either places and living there mentally will only take you out of creating grand possibilities today.
Come back to this moment. Move on from the past. Give yourself the opportunity to connect with how amazing this life is right now and don't be afraid to truly live.
This moment is all you have.
