It is time to do the right thing. It is time to set yourself free from your past. Set yourself free from your past. You are not there anymore. Where you are now, your present moment, whatever it is that you are doing now, right now, is more important to you , to your success, to your growth, to your future than your past.

Yes, you can’t write your story without including your past. You can’t. If you try to do it, you are writing a fake story. You are just making things up. You are not being honest with yourself. You are lying to yourself.

If you really want to write a powerful story, a real story, an authentic story, do not be scared to include your past failures, your past mistakes. Be proud of them. Because no one is perfect. Include everything. Do not leave anything out.

It is okay to show people that you are not a perfect person, that you have failed in the past, and that you are still failing. It is not easy, but it is the right to do. When you show people that you are not perfect, you are willing to grow.

Free yourself. If you don’t free yourself from your past, if you do not stop thinking about your mistakes, your weaknesses, you are not going to enjoy your future. It is going to distract you from creating a better future for yourself.

And it is going to be hanging over your neck. Do not do that. You are better than that. If you want to set yourself free from your past, you can. Why not now? Remember, when you free yourself from your past, you are free for life.

Whatever it is that is holding you back, you can set yourself free. It starts with what you want in your life.

If what you want is bigger than what is holding you back, you can defeat it. You can overcome it. And you can move your life forward.

To set yourself free, you must decide.

‘I know I’m not the only one who, to this day, still sometimes wishes they could just toss a decision over to mom. She’d know what to do.’– Lia Garvin

Make your own decision. Do not delegate your decision-making power to anyone, not even your mom. If you do that, you have given your power away.

To set yourself free, remember that you are not your mistakes.

‘When you realize a mistake wasn’t that big of a deal … then it wasn’t that big of a deal.’– Lia Garvin

Mistakes are not the end of the world. And they are not the end of your life. You are have a life that is bigger than a mistake.

When you make a mistake, own it. Do not beat yourself up for making a mistake. If you do, you will never learn something new.

We learn when we make mistakes, not when we are perfect. Remember, if you are not making mistakes, you are not trying hard enough.

If you want to set yourself free, you must stop thinking about your past failures.

‘The only person thinking about if other people are thinking about you is you.’– Lia Garvin

The only way to see where you are going is to focus on where you are going. The only way to reach where you are going is to stay in your own lane. The only way to succeed in life is to mind your own business.

And the only way to set yourself free is to stop thinking about your past failures.

To set yourself free, you must tell yourself what to do.

‘Our inner critic hates when we set goals, it’s literally like, ‘Who is this bitch to tell me what to do.?”– Lia Garvin

Whether your inner critics like your goals or not, if you want to be successful, you must set your goals. Why? Because you need a target. Your target is your destination. If you want to be successful, you must aim at something bigger than you.
