Forget the Past

Have you decided to improve yourself? Then, you have to learn how to forget the past. This includes the glory and the hurrible experiences. If not your past could stand as a great obstacle to your future success and advancement.

Don’t let you past stop or hinder you. Get a mental cleaner and clear the past off your mind. You have not reach your destination yet. You have to keep on moving forward step by step towards your goal.It’s good to learn from Apostle Paul . He kept on focusing on the future by forgetting and forgiving his past mistakes:

“Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do : Forgetting what is behind and straining towards what is ahead, I Press on towards the goal to win the prize….”
~ Philipians 3:13-14

It is true events in your life may seem out of your control. But you are in charge of how your react to things. For example, you are laid off in your company. That would certainly cause you and your great financial pains. Or your spouse suddenly leaves you and your heart is broken.  A family member may get ill. Someone close to you may even pass away. These are situations that could make you feel sad and helpless.

You might have tried to improve your self or family. And as often is the case things seem to get worsen the more you try. The tendency is for you to really feel helpless after so many disappointments.The easy way out is to give in to the situation and feel there is nothing you can do to make things better.

If you are feeling helpless after many fruitless trials to get your problems solved, I have a good news for you. The solution to your problem is at hand.
You may ask why am I so sure?Well, here is what the Bible says:

“For nothing is impossible with God.” ~ Luke 1:37 NIV

Maybe you are tired and hopeless because you have not allowed God to help you take care of the situation. Why not bring God into your situation now. Call on Him to come and help you out. Let God show you the way of life today. He will do that only when you call unto Him in prayer!

You might have called on God and things still seem not to change. Well, the truth is, with God, you have not done your best until you reach your goal. You need to agree with God on this. Your miracle is on the way. Keep on trusting God until you receive it.

It is good thing to always remember the farmer. Before a farmer plants his seeds, he would first clear the weeds on his farm. Then he plants his seeds trusting in God and his law to make them germinate, grow and bring harvest.

You too would have to clear first from your mind your negative experiences of the past. Your past is gone and should not hinder your future. Don’t give it the power to do so. You need also to trust God for your future growth and big harvest.

Your goal is to drive into the future. Your rear mirror may be good but could not lead you safely forward. The past is gone. It returns no more. Therefore, it is time to stop looking backward. Take heart and plan now for your future. It is what you do today that matters.
Start thinking right now on what to do to make your future better.

Your first lesson and key to success is to decide to prepare for your future. The future is more important. You can improve your future but it is beyond your power to make your experiences in the past better. Therefore, devote each day to plan to make better things happen to you in the future.And of course, when things seem not working as you planned, don’t ever give up. You need to persist and keep going until reach your place of success.

Follow on as God leads and with your hands in His you will certainly succeed.
