< Go Back No matter how hard you try you cannot change the past, but you can always learn and benefit from it, Posted: Apr 23, 2014 The past has no power to stop you from being present now. Only your grievance about the past can do that. What is grievance? The baggage of old thought and emotion. ~ Lao Tzu
No matter how hard you try you cannot change the past. Nothing you can do will undo what has been done. But you can always learn and benefit from the past, and you can change the way you react to what has happened before. Regularly view the past from the present, ignore your old patterns of thought and reactions and look for the value in everything you have thought and done and in everything that has been done to you.
Treasure that value, combine it with the new experiences that happen to you every day, and use them all to help you move forwards towards your goals. With your ever-increasing lifetime of experience and a clear set of goals to aim for you ll find it easier and easier to keep on track towards your chosen destination no matter how many times you get blocked, knocked back or diverted on the way.
