People become trapped in their past, trapped in their childhood. It’s one of
the many reasons we tell ourselves that we “can’t”. It’s an easy way to relieve
yourself of the responsibility you have for your current circumstances.
But nothing can stop you from moving forward and being great, if that’s what
you really want. It doesn’t matter what happened yesterday or 5 years ago or
when you were in 2 nd grade.
Just like how we improve our internal by moving to the external, we can
forget our past by creating a future. Build something big, something bigger
than anything you’ve done.
When what’s in front of you is so bright and so satisfying, you won’t have
time to look behind you. Your eyes and mind will be focused straight ahead.
That will draw you out. A big enough, bright enough, sexy enough future, a
future so soaked with potential and possibility it’s weight will snap you free
from that significant and laborious past.
You may not like everything from your past, but it’s helped shape who you
are today, good and bad. That’s right, there is plenty good about you, and that
good is enough to get you what you want. That person is fully capable of
living the life they want. Nothing will hold you back, if you want it enough
and act on it enough.
TWO STEPS TO FREEDOM
If you’re truly ready to change your life, to take hold of that freedom you’ve
been missing, there are two things you need to do.
1. Stop doing what you’re currently doing.
Simple, right? Look at the things that are sourcing your problems, the habits
that have put you in the situation you are in.
If you don’t get anything done because you’re glued to the couch, binge
watching Netflix for hours at a time, or have become a little too attracted to
the delicacies of your local Dunkin Donuts, stop doing it. No, seriously,
STOP. Now.
