That's what I try to think of whenever I get mad or start to get stressed out. like today I was getting stressed because I didn't get a break at work, but then I said to myself " Why am I going to be upset over this? I can't even change the fact that I won't get a break." I just let it go and decided not to let it ruin my day. There is nothing you can do about the past or the mistakes you make. You have everything to gain in life. Why focus on all the things you can lose?
Yes, I completely agree with what you are saying. People need to start looking ahead instead of looking in the past. It's not about what happened before but what is happening now. You are never to old or young to start changing your life.
Sometimes, it is hard for me to understand the true meaning of this. And most days my mind is too busy with getting requests done, school, friends, boyfriends, work and stressing about who is writing to me and having to respond, etc. It gets so blocked up in my head i forget the things that matter. But it is always at night, when it is silent before i go to bed that I remember my dreams, and i remember the life that lies ahead of me.
However, when i keep dreaming ahead that is still in the future not the present. To make something happen it all depends on how you act today. Your choices today can be the door that opens new oppurtunities in the future.
I'm happy to hear that you understand this. Not many people arent mature enough to understand that living in a rut is just a waste of energy. Yes sometimes it is good to feel sad. We are, after all, only human. But to dwell and to linger in this sickness of distress is unhealthy and I believe the people who feel this way know it. However they do not feel that they can get rid of it because they are too afraid to let go of the past. Sometimes even they are afraid that letting go of this emotion will be letting go of the thing that they lost. It's a harder option to change then it sounds.
But I suppose, that is when slowly changing your thoughts comes into play.
But, now i am just thinking way to much about this, ha ha ha. Thanks for reminding me that the choices made today are for the better. Live as though it was your last, you never know what person you can inspire and what you can leave behind.
