Letting Go of the Past to Discover a Bright New Future

Letting Go of the Past to Discover a Bright New Future

How do you feel about your connections to the past? Are your memories filled with warm, happy feelings - or something else?

The past touches all of us and it can cast a long and painful shadow on our lives, especially when we consider how often our feelings and sensitivities have been hurt. But the past is not always as solid and reliable as we'd like to believe. It's only really perceived through the shifting lens of our emotions and it is not a reliable way to recall and process past events.

Our emotions colour and distort our experience of the past until the original events become blurred, unrecognisable and easily pressed into service to justify our egocentric view of the world. Our challenge is to learn to let go of the past. Completely. To free ourselves from these stories of what did or did not happen so that we can be free to choose a future that fulfils our dreams and potential. Successful people do not let the shadows of the past influence the future. Letting go of the past is a truly liberating experience and an essential step on the pathway to complete well-being and the awakening of a harmonious and integrated personality. It also creates the space for a totally new and ferociously successful life, for happier relationships, for the fulfilment of your wildest dreams.
