“The time is now, the place is here. Stay in the present. You can do nothing to change the past, and the future will never come exactly as you plan or hope for.”– Dan Millman

The time to forget your past failures is now. The place to do it is right here, right where you are. Allow yourself to forget the past. The past is gone. There is nothing you can do about it. You can’t bring it back. No, you can’t.

Whatever may have happened to you in the past, let it go. Do not walk around with your past disappointments. It hurts!

The only thing you can do something about is NOW. The only place to start it is right here, right now. You can do something to change your present, but you can’t do anything to change your past. If that is the case, then why are you worrying yourself about what you cannot change?

To enjoy your life, you must do what you can to change your present. You must not worry yourself about your past failures. When you are always worrying yourself about your past, you become too focused on your failures. Stop doing that to yourself. You can’t change your past, but you can change yourself. That is what you should do. The choice is yours.

Do You Know That What Is Done In Love Is Done Well?

In the words of Vincent Van Gogh, “Love many things, for therein lies the true strength, and whoever loves much performs much, and can accomplish much, and what is done in love is done well.”

Love many things, but focus on where you are going. Don’t waste your time. You can do anything. Nothing is impossible for you. Just focus on what you can do. Focus on what you know, not what you don’t know. Because success comes from doing what you know. Failure comes from trying to do what you do not know. It is okay to try things.

Whatever you do, no matter how difficult it may be, don’t give up. Do not give too soon. Many people are not successful because they gave up too soon. Do your work with all you have left in your tank. Do your work with love, with compassion, with empathy, with all your mind, with courage. Don’t settle for less. Do not do what is easy. Do what is hard. You do not grow by doing easy things. You grow by doing hard things.

Hard things strengthen your muscles.

Easy things weaken your muscles.

If you want to grow, if you want to challenge yourself, you must stretch yourself. You must grow yourself. You must not stuck yourself in a rut. Because there is no growth in a rut. Live your life. But not in a rut. You are not here to live in a rut. If you are in one right now, it is time to leave. Leave!
