It is okay to learn from your past, but don’t live there. The past is gone. If you want to enjoy the moment, today, you must live in the present. Don’t live in the past and expect to enjoy today, to do new things, to connect with the moment. It won’t happen.

Don’t allow your past to take away your present. If you don’t focus on your present, you will not have the future you have been longing for. It is important to focus your mind on what is in front of you. Remember, what you allow into your mind is what you are going to live with. According to John Cage, “We need not destroy the past. It is gone.” The past is gone. If you want a better future, you must focus on what you are doing right now. If not, your future will be the same.

When In Doubt, Go With Your Highest Point Of Clarity

“When in doubt, go with your highest point of clarity.”– Dan Rockwell

Doubt is not a dream healer; it is a dream killer. When in doubt, go with your intuition. Do not let doubt kill your dreams. Once you are ready to do something, go for it. Stop thinking about it. Don’t think yourself into changing your mind. Just trust yourself. You can’t change what is going to happen tomorrow. You can’t change nature.

Don’t doubt yourself. Just trust yourself. Commit yourself to your life, to your path, to your journey. According to Ralph Waldo Emerson, “Self-trust is the first secret of success.” If you want your dreams to come true, you must trust self. We don’t trust ourselves enough. We are good at beating ourselves up. Instead of beating yourself, once you have made up your mind, once you have committed yourself to something, to your dreams, to your destiny, to your goals, don’t let them die. You must do everything within your power to make them happen. To put simply, you must follow them through.

Once you have made up your mind, don’t doubt yourself. Just believe in yourself that everything is going to work out fine. Don’t doubt yourself whether you will succeed or not. If you think you will succeed, you will succeed. But if you think you are not going to succeed, you won’t succeed. Trust yourself. Trust the process. No matter what, don’t doubt yourself, trust yourself.
