| Don't Let Your Past Control Your Future
|
|
|
All too often, I have seen that a person's past controls their future.
I have seen it in my own life, where people would criticize me and tell me that I was worthless and would not amount to anything.
I have also seen it in others lives as well. The person who used drugs and feels there is no way to stop. The Gambler who doesn't feel they can quit. The sexual addict or shopaholic who can't stop their behavior. The workaholic who feels that their job is their very existence and without it, they would be a nobody. Aftere all, these people have thought that their situations are permanent, and once in them, they can never get out of them. This is, I see, a sad view on life today.
We don't have to let our past life and actions control or dictate what will happen to us today or next week or next year or in the years to come.
God gives each one of us the ability to change the way we live. It is ours for the asking.
What we need to do is to reprogram our minds, thoughts emotions and actions. We need to reflect on what we were doing and ask ourselves this question- Is what I was or am still doing now bringing me peace, joy and contentment in my life?
If your answer is "no", then I urge you to reflect on what needs to be done in your life to change and break the bonds of the negative situations that have been in control of your life.
You and I can change and make our lives better- There is Hope.
My hope is in God's will and desire to change me and make me a better person. I know I want that in my life. What about you?

bjm1,
Yes, our past does make us to be a stronger person. It also helps us to be more caring and sympathetic of others going through the same situations. And it allows us to be a support to others and let them know that change is possible.
God Bless
