Letting Go | Don’t Allow Your Past Define Your Future

Breaking Free – Letting Go of the Past

These days a lot of people are suffering because they don’t want to let go of their past. They let the things that happened to them previously stop them from having a positive mindset and it holds them back from accomplishing anything for their future as a result. They are only focused on events of the past, not the possibilities of the future.

why dwelling in the past?

Some experts say that people hold onto their past because they think moving forward will make them lose their identity. They don’t like their past, but they don’t know anything else and they are afraid to get a better mindset and get on with their lives and create a positive future. The fact of the matter is you are only hurting yourself if you do this! Holding onto past struggles, bad relationships, and bad choices you have made leaves you no space for finding something new and better.

changing your mindset

Truthfully there are lots of opportunities to fix a person’s life if they will only let go of the past and move onto a positive mindset for the future. People are merely afraid of change, whether that be personal change and growth or if it is something tangible like breaking a habit or moving to a different town.

Change can actually be a great thing in a person’s life. They just must to be willing to take a giant leap and get a more positive mindset. Often as soon as you are willing to do that, things get easier, go more smoothly and you are going to feel so much happier! That first giant (or even tiny) step is the hardest to do, and once that’s done, things usually work out for the best.

the perfect moment is – now!

Some people won’t let go of the past because they keep saying it’s not the right time. The reality is there is never a perfect timeframe to do it, and it needs to be done in the present moment, as soon as the realization hits you. We evolve our whole lives and are not the same individual we were yesterday let alone next month or next year. We have to have the courage to believe in ourselves and get that positive mindset so we can have a better future.

Letting go of the past will help someone get stronger in several ways. Challenges come our way all the time, and being able to meet them and overcome them can be very empowering. It’s vital to force yourself to do so and make a better life for yourself. We all need to set both personal and professional goals and make the effort to attain them.

letting go will set you free.

Being able to let go of the past is very freeing. All of the bad things that have happened in the past can weigh us down like rocks and can even make us ill or worse. That’s another reason it is vital to learn how to dump the past and move on with our lives. A person’s past shapes them and it’s not that you have to totally forget where you have been, but you have to learn how to use it to shape your future instead letting it hold you back forever.

make peace with your past and move on with your life.

No one can stay the same or they will wither away. We all need to evolve and grow and mature. We couldn’t stay a child forever, and we had to grow up. Now that we are adults, we can’t stay stagnate forever, we must let ourselves grow and meet the future with a positive mindset. This is done by accepting the past events whether good or bad, asking forgiveness for your own mistakes and forgiving the people who have wronged us.

final words

The problem with staying in the past is that you will keep reliving the things in your life that have hurt you and you won’t learn anything new. Plus, you have to be able to function in a world that is ever changing and you can’t do that by staying in the past.

Some who stay in the past are depressed, and need help. They need to find the strength to see a counsellor or therapist and get the help that will let them move on. If not, they will never have a good future or an enjoyable life.

If you feel you are having trouble in letting go of something, then seek out help and learn how to give yourself the best possible life and future.
