Fantastic New Year's message
January 14th 2008 05:00
My sister sent me a text message on New Year's Eve that is simple yet very powerful. She wrote it herself too which made it doubly nice. It made me see that I need to let go of the past and embrace the now.
Start the new year with new ambitions, goals and most of all new desires. Leave all feelings of regrets, mistakes and guilt behind (in the nearest trash can). At midnight, let only good thoughts and desires embrace you.
I find it hard to stop regretting and to stop beating myself up over mistakes. I'm a very harsh critic of myself and that quality doesn't help me move forward. I get stuck in my own analysis of situations; pondering on what I did and didn't do, what I should and shouldn't have done. It's a dead end way to view life from the perspective of regret.
Slowly I have made progress to leaving the past in the past and swimming with the current of life instead of against it. I know there is a bright, powerful stage ahead of me for I can feel myself believing in myself. Isn't that the start of everything - belief in yourself. Yes. I know it is.
