Let the past be the past

Lesson Seven

 

The Past is Past
 

Let the past be the past. Stop harping on about past mistakes. Don’t keep focussing on what has happened in the past. Stop telling yourself what you can’t do. Stop reminding yourself of your inabilities. Stop telling yourself how bad you are. Stop going back in your life to find all the times you have failed and projecting them to the future. 

In a simple sentence Let the Past be the Past. It is over. There is nothing you can do about it. It doesn’t matter what you do now you cannot change the past. The past has got you to where you are today now move on.

Even yesterday has gone. A few hours ago has gone. A couple of minutes ago have gone. There is only now and the future.

So, instead of focussing on the past, focus on doing your best; now. Focus on putting as much effort as you can into what is going on now and you will get the reward for that. Remember whatever you put in you get out. Therefore the more effort you put into your life the more you get out. Just have patience. Rome wasn’t built in a day. You cannot change all your habits in a couple of days. To perform at your best. To reach your optimum state, you just need to have patience and practice. Remember, the more effort you put in the more you get out.

If you feel really fed up. If you feel as though the world is against you. If you feel as if you should have done better. There is only one thing you can do.

SMILE.

When you find yourself in need of a lift all you have to do is SMILE.

What is there to smile about?

How about starting with how fortunate you are…

Go on…… accept it!

SMILE.

 

Have you noticed that if you smile you naturally feel good inside.

Have you noticed that if you SMILE in an elevator, on the tube, on the bus or anywhere in public people smile back.

SMILE and the world SMILES with you.

Just remind yourself of that moment in meditation when you felt happy, peaceful and loving or being loved and we guarantee that it will bring a SMILE onto your face. You will feel so happy.

Once you start to SMILE you will be amazed the effect it has on yours and others lives.
