Beauty is everywhere.
To see the beauty in what you are doing,
in your life, in the people around you,
in nature, focus on what is possible,
not on what is not possible.
To enjoy your work, to enjoy your journey,
your success journey, your mastery journey,
your self-development journey,
your change journey, you must focus on the process,
not the destination.
If you focus on the process, you will learn a lot.
But if you focus on the destination,
you won't learn anything. Why?
Because you are not living in the present.
You are living in the future.
And to achieve success, you must live in the present.
Because everything happens in the present.
Not in the past. Not in the future.
To enjoy the journey, focus on it.
To enjoy what you are doing,
you must find the beauty in it.
It will happen if you believe in it,
if you expect it, if you trust it,
if you let it happen. And it will happen.
Because beauty is everywhere.
“Make peace with your past so it doesn’t screw up the present.”– Regina Brett
To get ahead, to enjoy the present, you must take care of your past. Whether you like it or not, whether you want to hear it or not, you cannot separate yourself from your past. Instead, why not focus on how you are going to make things right in the present?
Because if you do not take care of the present, the past is going to repeat itself.
To live well, you must work well. To enjoy tomorrow, you must work today. To reap tomorrow, you must plant today.
You must take care of the little things. They are powerful. They can screw you up. They can derail your plans. They can stop you from getting to where you want to be. They are stronger than you think. So if you want to enjoy where you are, you must do the hard work. Regina Brett says, “If you don’t do the hard work, you will constantly bump into your past…”
Why?
Because wherever you go, you will meet your past.
Because your past is you. It is part of your life, of your history, of your book. You can’t live your life without it. You can’t write your story without it. Do not hate your past, embrace it.
