Moving On From The Past

By Evan Sanders


Stuck. Really stuck.

Our past can seem like an inescapable cage that weighs down on us every single day. Constantly we are reminded of prior pain, mistakes we have made, people we have lost, and the list of transgressions goes on and on.

But the real danger of the past is that it can become a type of mental prison that stops us completely from really living today.

So what can you do to move on from your past?

Repair it all. Repair everything that makes you cringe when you think about it. Will going back to the past be incredibly hard at times? Yes, of course. But going back into those events and situations where you didn't exactly handle yourself in the best ways can actually bring great peace to your life if you take responsibility for what you've done.

But the most beneficial aspect of cleaning up your past is that you give yourself a fresh slate to work on in this moment. When you aren't controlled by situations and events that have taken place previously, you can really show up in this moment and be whoever you want to be. Isn't that powerful? Wouldn't that be ideal?

While it's hard to do this, the journey into the past to repair everything is worth it. It makes you a strong person to be able to admit your mistakes and defeats and take ownership for them. It makes you something greater than you've ever been before.

Come back to this moment. Move on from the past. Give yourself the opportunity to connect with how amazing this life is right now and don't be afraid to truly live.

After all, this moment is all you really have.
