Today And Tomorrow

Are In Our Hands

By Ruth Elizabeth StiffPublished about a year ago 1 min read
Today and Tomorrow we CAN Control!

“Remember,

you can’t reach

what’s in front of you

until you let go

of what’s behind you”

Why is it so hard

for us to let go of the past?

Memories,

whether good or bad,

are constantly ‘popping’ up in our minds.

We hear a particular song

or smell an old favourite perfume,

and instantly

we see pictures in our mind’s eye,

whether good or bad,

‘they’ are there.

And sometimes,

we are just too frightened of the ‘unknown’,

and the future can be

the ‘unknown’.

However,

when we start

to take Control

of our Lives,

we are starting

to Control

our Futures too.

Whilst we cannot change the ‘past’,

we CAN Learn from ‘it’,

and like any lesson,

once learnt,

we let go of that subject

and move on to the

Future.

Physically,

if we tried to hold onto something behind us,

it could drag us backwards

and/or we’d never move,

which is terribly bad for us physically.

Mentally

it is just the same!

In order to make room

for New,

Positive and

Happy memories,

we need to let go

and stop thinking about

the old, negative and sad ones.

Focus your attention

on Today and Tomorrow

and Plan for the Future,

and you’ll soon find

that you have let go of the past,

and that you are

too busy

thinking about something Positive.

Gain Control of your Life,

Today and Tomorrow.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!
