Abandon your past??

Are you courageous enough to abandon your past? Many of us have trouble leaving behind the scars of a past that was challenging, dark or sad. But that's a topic for another day...plenty of "let go" affirmations focus on that one. But can you abandon a past that was successful.

Huh? Why abandon a past that was successful?

Because that's how you grow!

Abandon is a strong word. Soften it if you like, but be firm. If you want to move forward, you need to move your whole body in the same direction - forward. Both legs, both arms, head, and eyes in front of you. Oh, absolutely smell the roses on the way, bask in tour glories, relax and saviour the memories, but move forward.

A lot of us stay stuck in our heads. We call it memories, treasures, etc. but in reality the same thought patterns revolve over and over the same things, and before we know it, we are stuck. Sadly stuck.

I once had a friend who always used to say "better a has-been than a never-been". I believe that statement can be taken totally out of context. I have more respect for the person who keeps on trying after failing again and again (as long as they keep on tying though!) - who some may dismiss as a "never-been", - than I have for the person who keeps on blowing their trumpet about an "achievement" they had years ago. Success is relative. Who was it who said "you're only as good as your last success"? <Substitute success with game, performance, run, book...>

Notice I used the word courageous in the opening line. Because it really is! So take credit if you succeed!

Love and light,
