How To Use The Past, Future, And Present In Attaining Success
Did you know that your past, present, and future can affect
directly or indirectly your outlook in life?
THE PAST
Have you ever done something that is so regrettable you couldn't
forgive yourself? Have you ever made a mistake that up to the
present time you're still blaming yourself? Are you still
torturing yourself with the thought that only if you could've
done it differently, you're living a much better life right now?
Good news for you! You don't have to keep this burden in your
heart for as long as you live. Release it. Set yourself free.
If you keep bad memories, you're depriving yourself of good
mental and emotional health. You're making yourself a prisoner
of the past. This will adversely affect your capacity to act at
the present moment. You will not be able to think clearly and
you will lose your focus if you are still lingering in the
shadows of your dark past.
No matter what you do, you couldn't reverse or otherwise change
history. So let bygones be bygones. Why worry about something
you have no control of?
Let go of the past, but keep the LESSONS. Whatever lesson you've
learned will be of utmost importance to the fulfillment of your
goals in the future. These lessons are your mentors that may
sometimes teach you the hard way; but nevertheless, success
comes to those who are willing to take the risk and pay the
price for their actions.
And what about the successes you had in the past? How did you
feel when you've accomplished something exceptional? It feels
great isn't it?
Well then, use these past experiences in your present endeavors
to encourage you and to motivate you. These memorable
experiences will bring a positive aura of enthusiasm and will
remind you that you have the power to achieve anything with the
right attitude.
Recall these affirmative memories in everything that you do and
you will see amazing results in all your undertakings. THE FUTURE
Now how can the future influence your success if it hasn't
occurred yet? The answer is simple.
Your burning passion to attain your ideal life in the future
will become the motivating factor that will prod and push you to
take the essential steps at the present moment.
Conceive your future in the most vivid and comprehensive way
possible.
For instance, if you want to get rich, then take into
consideration: 1) How much money you desire to make, when you
intend to get them, and your action plan to have that exact
amount by your target date 2) The vision of your lifestyle when
you've attained the money; like the people you are in contact
with, the activities you are engaging in, the food you are
eating, the places you are visiting...Well, you get the picture.
These are the guiding forces that will chart the right path to
your intended destination. If you envision yourself as having
attained them and focus all your efforts regardless of the
impending obstacles ahead, then your inner power will release
the right kind of energy that will enable you to do nearly
anything in pursuit of your desired end.
THE PRESENT
The present moment is the time to ACT. Ready or not, you must do
some action now! Mistakes will be made, but you could always
revise them.
Put procrastination aside. One delay or excuse will generate a
chain reaction of more postponements and alibis that will never
end. Before you knew it, open opportunities have already passed
you by.
Never let fear get on your way. Some people are struck by the
threats of failures, setbacks, or criticisms. What they don't
realize is that majority of successful people had to pass
through "the eye of the needle" in order to get where they are
now.
Act intelligently. Use your past mistakes as guides to avoid
future blunders. Let the vision of your ideal life in the future
compel you to carry out your plans and catapult you to reach
your deepest desires.
