I have a question for you. And I’d love for you to really stop and think about it before answering.
Are you letting the Past keep you stuck?
Is a break-up or divorce in your past keeping you from moving forward towards new love?
Is a diet you tried before, but didn’t work for you because you couldn’t sustain the weight loss, keeping you from moving ahead to becoming more healthy?
Is a disappointment or rejection in your work life preventing you from giving your idea, project or search for new opportunities another try?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, I’d like to offer you a different way for thinking about these situations.
What if you thought of them as an opportunity to grow or, I might suggest, the best thing that ever could have happened to you? Is that possible?
What if your break-up or divorce, was an opportunity to heal from the past and open yourself up to new possibilities in love? It certainly was for me. The divorce was very painful, but it propelled me into a time of healing, reflection, and a new way of looking at the past. Eventually, I was able to think about what a new relationship might look like, what I was looking for and prayerfully asking for guidance on the future. I met my husband of 16 years once I had taken the time to look back and then look forward with new hope.
What if the fact that the past diets didn’t work was the perfect opportunity to learn how to love and appreciate your body now? What if it opened you up to looking at your own thoughts and beliefs about yourself and ways you could be kinder to yourself? Very possibly, then your eyes might be opened to instinctively knowing the foods that feel good in your body when you eat them. Success could just be a reflection and observation away.
What if your disappointment or rejection in your work was the perfect opportunity to really think about your skills, abilities, heart’s desires, and calling? You could get moving on looking for other job opportunities or even starting your own business that fulfills all your dreams of making the world a better place and help more people.
So I’ll ask you again: Are you letting the past keep you stuck?
Now’s the time! Spring is here and new life is popping up all over! You can start looking towards the future and not letting the past keep you stuck. A new life!
“Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past.
See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?” Isaiah 43:18-19
