Your Past isn’t Great but Here’s How Your Future Can Be

The Mentality for Moving on from a Terrible Past and Creating a Great Future

Reminiscing positive attitude: A great future does not require a great past, it doesn’t at all. First know this and have it on your fingertips when your past comes haunting.

It’s a good idea to shut the door. Lock it and leave it for as long as you remember why you locked it. Every new day is a gateway to our future, a better experience can start on any of these days when we’ve freely moved on. Life becomes easier and nicer when you let go of the past and look to the future.

Lesson enough, those that have struggled in life are often the most resilient people. If you can turn around things, make adversaries of the past as opportunities. It’s an effective approach still.

Unfortunately, we tend to get stuck in whatever past we have due to the social surrounding and how people communicate with us based on them and we somehow forget that we are not today what we once were yesterday. No doubts, you can’t change your past but you can shape your future

At other times, we focus so much on the future, thereby lose the importance of momentum. We must therefore learn to better keep the balance between right now and expectations, otherwise it will become a putting off entirely.

Yeah, we are allowed to have negative thoughts, feel discouraged, have bad attitudes, and ill thoughts too when we are rejected by anyone or anything due to a past error or experience. It’s human nature and always expected but for how long and at what cost?

So, don’t imagine the worst case scenario alone, dispel the negative, take the wipe and move into a positive mental space regardless. Most often the negative views are temporary or situational and can be fixed easily but it takes someone who genuinely cares to ask how to fix it.

No doubts, your past is an important ingredient for your future. However, do not be limited by the realities of it. You can make lemonades out of lemons; learn from that past, devote full strength, and concentrate on the future with full attention. Our past is relevant but is not equal to our future. It’s not our conditions or circumstances that determines our destiny, it’s the decisions which come from our beliefs and determination.

Here is the Right Time to get your Life Purpose Figured Out

We have to be careful not to let our past experiences, people, stress, or fear determine our attitude. Life is going to happen. When it does and we present a negative attitude to it, we become defeated and angry. Our smartest approach should be to guard our minds and hearts, this is because negative past experiences have a way of tainting and paralyzing our focus. Nevertheless, we must not forget the experiences that made us greater.

Every day is a great opportunity where we get to learn something. Life is a process of self discovery and there is nothing right or wrong in it. When your mind is full and heart is empty, you are forced. But when your mind is empty and your heart is full, you allow the truth to come into being. It comes in as sudden as the sunlight and as pure as the night.

Many of us blame others and begin to believe we are victims a lot of times when we could just move out of our illusions and take control over the situation. Once we are out, we have to accept the reality and adjust ourselves to the situation.

A great future does not require a great past. Giving our calculated best in our present, our future will definitely be bright, knowing well that we can always create a future that differs from what we’ve experienced in the past. But what does it take? Press that reset button, make the changes and create something that you’re proud of and happy to do.

Be Motivated – Life is Hard but We have to Stop Running

Pictures of the bad period from our past will certainly appear to drag the beautiful prospects ahead of us to the mud sometimes. Yet, the truth is, we can change ourselves from bad to good, but this won’t change or delete the errors from our lives. There’s always a memory for us and others whether it’s good or bad.

Unfortunately, this is a ‘bad-news world‘ where most people tend to quickly forget our good side but remember our bad side often. Painfully, we cannot change everyone’s mentality, but the great thing about the past is that it shows us what and who not to bring into our future.

If we have a positive attitude, we have joy and can grow, becoming stronger. Now, a positive attitude doesn’t mean we are happy when we lose our jobs. It just means that we rely on God instead of ourselves to move forward. Be strong and courageous today! Take it in stride and be grateful for the things you do have!
