I will say that I am the hardest on Sharon, that’s me. My mind is constantly going 100 miles a minute trying to figure out my life. There are the things I AM doing, the things I’ve DONE, and the things I am GOING to do. I often find myself in the past zone where I’m thinking about the would’ve, could’ve and should’ve. What does thinking about that do for you? Well, I know it depresses the hell out of me because I can’t undo what’s been done. It just adds to my stress level and is preventable if I just STOP thinking about it. Living in regret hinders you from moving forward in your purpose. It’s like not seeing the sun shine because you’re too busy staring at the moon.
When you’re blessed with a new day, it comes with so much more than that. It comes with brand new mercies, grace, a chance to do things differently, a chance to grow, and a chance to offer yourself forgiveness. We all make mistakes but living in them is counterproductive to progress. So, the next time you think about what happened yesterday, last week, last month or last year, please remind yourself that today is what matters and focus in on that. There is so much joy in today, so much promise in today, so much life to live in today. Regret brings pain, feel it if you must, but then release it into the atmosphere. Close your eyes, take a deeeeeep breath and allow your lungs to expand fully, then sloooooooooowly blow all the way out. Now open your eyes and smile…..I’m glad to be a part of this journey with you:)
Until Next Time,
