Your Past Need Not Determine Your Future

According to Bhagavad Gita, “As you put on fresh new clothes and take off those you’ve worn, you’ll replace your body with a fresh one, newly born.” It is time to take off your old clothes and wear your new ones. It is time to stop living in the past.

No matter what you been through in your life, do not let it stop you from living in the moment. Do not let hate stop you from living in the moment. Do not let disappointments stop you from becoming the person you were created to be. It is hard, but doable.

Free yourself from your past by loving yourself. Do not let your past failures determine your present life. You cannot forget your past, but you have the power to control your present. Do not give in to your past circumstances. Do not give in to your past failures, mistakes. Instead, use your past mistakes to design your future. You have a choice. You always have choices, yet you don’t use them to strengthen your path forward. To move forward, you must say no to your horrible past.

“Most of our obstacles would melt away if, instead of cowering before them, we should make up our minds to walk through them.”- Orison Swett Marden

Nothing is too much for you to defeat. If you want to reach your destination, you must first defeat your obstacles. You must walk through them. You can do it. But remember, your obstacles are not there to stop you from achieving your goals, they are there to bring out the best in you. You become a better you by overcoming your obstacles. You have no right to ignore your dreams because obstacles are in your way. No, you don’t. You must face it. And no matter what you are struggling with, no matter what you are trying to overcome, you should never give way to it. If you do, you will regret it. And do not limit yourself to your own environment. Because your environment is not responsible for your growth. You are responsible for making your life better. When you limit yourself to your environment, to your past failures, to your mistakes, to your past disappointments, your spirit is weakened. And when that happens, everything becomes difficult for you to achieve.

You can win your battles. All you need to do is to believe in yourself. Do not hang around people who will deflate yourself spiritual ball. Do not give way to doubt. Do not give way to hate. If you want to defeat your obstacles, if you want to walk through your problems, first, you must believe in yourself. Second, you must surround yourself with positive people, people who are not afraid to challenge you, people who are getting things done, people who are doers, people who are always improving their skills, not negative people. No matter what, do not settle for less. You can always do better than you are doing right now. You can always improve your skills. You can always work harder than other people. Remember, hard work and success go together. And procrastination and failure go together. You are better than your obstacles. If you want to overcome your obstacles, you must not give way to them. If you do, they will defeat you.
