Get Past the Past

God, in all wisdom, gave us a face and a default onward vision, but a lot of people,like the biblical Lot, will rather strain their necks to look back.

There's nothing wrong, if you cast a glance at events that took place in the past, how it has affected your present and what you can do to make it shape your future positively.

But it becomes inimical to progress if a person looks back, focuses on the past, wonder how it happened and wish that it never happened, leading to endless years of hurt and rue. 

Focusing on the past takes you back in time and leaves you there, so while others have taken two steps forward, you are still moping about something that changes nothing.

Getting over past events may appear an arduous task but if you keep an open mind and believe that whatever happened in the past is gone. What ever you lost in the past wasn't meant to be yours and will be replaced in due time, then you will have a more optimistic approach to life.

  

Watchword: Take a glance at, but do not focus on past events.
