Whatever it is that you have been holding on to, let it go. You don’t have anything to do with it anymore. You are free. You are growing yourself. You are healing your soul. Do not even think about it anymore.

If you want to be successful, do not hold on to any negative things from your past. If you want to build a better future, you must let go of whatever it is that is holding you back.

If you have been holding on to your past mistakes, let them go. If you have been holding on to your past failures, let them go. They can’t help you anymore. They can’t help you get to where you want to be.

Let go of your past. Don’t ruin your future. Do not let your negative thoughts ruin where you are. Do not let your past disappointments ruin your future. Do not let your past setbacks ruin your future. They are gone. You can’t change them.

The only thing you can change is your present, where you are. Do not worry yourself about what you can’t change. It is okay to mess up. That is life.

No matter how smart you are, things are going to go wrong. When they do, the only thing you can do is to learn from them. Why? Because mistakes are opportunities for growth.

If you want to grow, do not focus on your past. Instead, focus on where you are, what you are doing to make your life better, and how you are going to get to where you want to be. The choice is yours.

You Don’t Need This Person In Your Life

It does not matter where you are, what you are doing, where you are going, you do not need someone who is constantly putting you down, who is never for you, who does not support your dreams, who always talk you out of your dreams, who never sees anything positive in your life.

If you want to grow yourself, you need someone who is not afraid to tell you what you need to hear, not what you want to hear.

Do not hang out with negative people, with toxic people, with people who are not going anything, who are not doing anything to improve their lives, to change their situations, to position themselves for greatness.

In his book Higher is Waiting, Tyler Perry wirites, “Is there someone in your life who is contantly putting you down, triggering your feelings of inadequacy? You don’t need this person. Ask yourself, “Why am I staying?”

Yes, why are you still in a terrible marriage? Why are you still with a terrible boss? Why are you still hanging out with lazy people? Why?

No matter what you are going through right now, if you do not stand up for yourself, people will abuse you. If you do not love yourself, people will abuse you. People will feed you with the food you don’t want to eat. They will feed your heart with the wrong words.

Do not worry about who is for you or who is against you. If you are for yourself, if you know what you want for yourself, if you do not live for others, you can make your life work for you, not against you. If no one is for you, be for yourself. That is good enough. Yes, it is.
