To do the best you can, you must ask yourself the right questions. You can’t do your best if you don’t ask yourself the right questions. You must be honest with yourself. Life is change. Without change, their is no life, no growth. And to change yourself, you must ask the right questions. In his book, Running The Gauntlet, Jeffrey Hayzlett writes, “Change begins by changing the questions.” He is right. If you don’t like where you are, change it. If you don’t like what you are doing, change it. No one is going to do it for you. Remember, you can’t grow without change. And change is painful, but you need it to move forward.

You may not like where you are right now. You are not happy with yourself. You are discouraged. You are angry. It is okay to feel like that. But the solutions to your problems are not in your feelings, they are in your doings. Think about that.

Maybe where you are is the right place for you to be right now. If that is the case with you, you must find ways to make where you are better. You must change how you see where you are. You must change how you think about where you are. Norman Vincent Peale said, “Change your thoughts and you change your world.” Change your thoughts and your life will change. Change your thoughts and your environment will change. Change your thoughts and your feelings will change.

Be happy with where you are. It is your place to be. Focus on the positive things that are happening around you. Don’t let your negative thoughts block your opportunities. As you are aware, there are opportunities everywhere. So don’t miss them. When you do this, you learn how to master your life.

Moving Away From Your Past Failures

“…it is vital for you to decide what changes you want to bring into your life.”- Jim Stovall

Live your own life and forget your past failures. You can’t concentrate on creating your new life if you can’t let go of your past failures. They are just failures, not you. Do not let your failures define who you are. You are better than that. You are more powerful than you think.

If you want to create your new life, if you want to try again, if you want to better your life, if you want to protect your sanity, if you want to maintain a sound mind, if you want to live successfully, you MUST forget about your past failures. Because the more you concentrate on your past failures, the more you are missing what is happening around you. And if you miss the present, you can’t create the future you want for yourself.

Learn to forget. Learn to let go of the things that are not helping you move closer to your dreams. Don’t let your past mistakes and failures weigh you down. Instead, look for something positive to think about. Do things that will help you live a better life- you can walk, meditate, sing (if you can), call a great friend, or just relax. The choice is yours.
