Stuck. Really stuck.
The past at times can be this horrible places that rips apart our ability to live in the present. When our past has been left to wreck havoc on our lives, we live in a an abundance of pain and fall victim to things that are now completely out of our control.
But the real danger of the past is that it can become a type of mental prison that stops us completely from really living today.
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.
Take a chance. Take a risk. Be courageous and go back into the past in order to create a better future for yourself tomorrow.
In the end, this moment right now is all you really have.
