Moving forward in life and forging ahead on a positive path is difficult enough, but if we harbor anger, hold grudges, or allow ourselves to “what if” over events in the past, moving forward is almost impossible. Many times we blame obstacles in front of us for keeping us from reaching our goals, when we are really stumbling over events in the past that we cannot make peace with. This creates blockages in our creativity, restful sleep, productive work, and harmonious relationships.
We all make mistakes, get hurt, do and say things that are outside of our character during a low point, but to keep bludgeoning ourselves for our actions or staying estranged from people we care about, works in our subconscious and holds us back from being all we can be. It’s like trying to run with your shoelaces tied together.
Break free and realize your fullest potential by turning around and facing what is behind you that keeps tripping you up. Find it, pick it up and move it to side of the road by being a bit kinder to yourself or seeking out that person and having a heart to heart. The exuberance, peace, and freedom you will feel will generate the positive energy you are seeking to achieve the great things your future holds.
And so, as another day goes by, I’m attending to those knots in my shoelaces, and…I have written.
