Don't
let fear or insecurity stop you from trying new things. Believe in yourself. Do
what you love. And most importantly, be kind to others, even if you don't like
them. - Stacy London
I'm
not afraid of storms, for I'm learning how to sail my ship. - Louisa May Alcott
You
don’t get rid of yesterday by talking about it all of the time; You get rid of
its effect on you by moving forward. - Kingdom Woman by Dr. Tony Evans and
Chrystal Evans Hurst
Does your past control your future?
Over the last month, I have had two opportunities of allowing past
experiences dictate how I would handle current situations. In both situations, I had the opportunity to
live in fear of things that happened in the past, live in the fear of “what
ifs” or take a risk to see what would happen.
Both situations are looking very good right now and I plan on continuing
to push forward.
At
the end of the day, worrying is like paying interest on a loan you don’t
haven’t taken out yet. Don’t let it paralyze you. (themastershift.com)
When I realized I was allowing fear of things from my past affect my
future actions, I did soul searching and research on the internet. I discovered that the reason I reacted as I
did was because the situations I was dealing with were triggers based on past
experiences and not the situation I was currently in. When I realized this, I was able to analyze the
situation and determine how to proceed.
Even today as I was writing this post, I had a situation that affected
me. Instead of calling someone to
discuss, I took time to analyze it, processed it for a couple hours and
realized why I reacted the way I did. By learning from these situations, I am
helping to overcome the past and prepare myself for my future.
CHALLENGE: Are there any past experiences that are
controlling you and prohibiting you from accomplishing your dreams? If so, how do you plan on handling them?
