“Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending.”
Maria Robinson
Our past is always there and for so many of us it deters or inspires us
as we go about our daily lives. Since we can't change what has happened to us perhaps making
choices to help reach destinations more to our liking is the way to go. Our individual
journeys are after all a combination of our choices along the way.
But how you might say? Our past is our past ... yes, but how we chose to view it or
allow it to affect us is the key. It really is a choice after all....even for
those who have experienced horrific things...not reaching out to for help is
a decision made, therefore letting the trauma continue to disrupt a life, many times
years after the occurrence. Not letting go of a lesser but painful hurt or disappointment is a negative
wall to the one holding on, as is not forgiving one who has caused you pain. Letting "downer" tapes
or "self talk" keep playing in your head is possibly keeping you from reaching many of
the goals you want to reach or finding the life you have been wanting.
Where do you want to end up? What goals do you to reach in 2012? You CAN change
the ending point, the future...but it is after all up to you!
