Moving On Might Be Exactly What You Need
It may be hard to believe, but there’s tremendous strength in releasing the past and moving forward. I understand it doesn’t feel that way.
Right now it’s easy to get caught up in what’s already happened.
But there’s a lot of power in letting go and moving on. I know it doesn’t feel like it.
And GenuLines knows that at this point, you’re focusing on what happened in the past.
You’re thinking that if you keep dwelling on what happened, you might be able to figure it out. You think that with enough contemplation, things would fall into place.
And you’d see the rhyme and reason for the negative things that happened in the past.
This isn’t the first time you’ve thought this way. In fact, this might be the thousandth or so time you’ve entertained that idea.
What happened the previous days when you thought this way? How about the days before those?
Focusing on the past isn’t going to help you. And understand that past misfortunes don’t make your life a complete disaster.
You do want to map out a more clear path for your life. You’ll see that things are not so bleak.
There are very promising possibilities
Understand that these areas of light are areas of hope in your life.
You haven’t completely dropped the ball in those areas. You haven’t completely screwed up.
There’s your cause for optimism. It’s something to feel good about.
Focus and move on.
Focus on the fact that you have control. Given time, that area of control in your life could grow.
But these areas of control can’t grow if you don’t focus on them. As the old saying goes, “Where attention goes, energy flows.”
How can you take full ownership of your life if your attention stays on the things you can’t control? I’m talking about people from the past.
I’m talking about situations in the past. And I’m talking about people in your present you can do nothing about.
Focus on your area of competency, which is your choice to respond to things going on in your life.
This is your area of control. It’s the only area of control.
But the good news is the more you focus on it, the more competent and self-confident you become.
This helps you to become a more responsible and powerful person. Focus on these and move on from things that waste your time, attention, and emotional energy.
