Who Will Cry When You Die

7.
Honor Your Past
Every second you dwell on the past you steal from your future. Every minute
you spend focusing on your problems you take away from finding your
solutions. And thinking about all those things that you wish never happened to
you is actually blocking all the things you want to happen from entering into
your life. Given the timeless truth that holds that you become what you think
about all day long, it makes no sense to worry about past events or mistakes
unless you want to experience them for a second time. Instead, use the lessons
you have learned from your past to rise to a whole new level of awareness and
enlightenment.
Life’s greatest setbacks reveal life’s biggest opportunities. As the ancient
thinker Euripides noted, “There is in the worst of fortune the best chances for a
happy change.” If you have suffered more than your fair share of difficulties in
life, perhaps you are being prepared to serve some greater purpose that will
require you to be equipped with the wisdom you have acquired through your
trials. Use these life lessons to fuel your future growth. Remember, happy people
have often experienced as much adversity as those who are unhappy. What sets
them apart is that they have the good sense to manage their memories in a way
that enriches their lives.
And understand that if you have failed more than others, there is a very
good chance you are living more completely than others. Those who take more
chances and dare to be more and do more than others will naturally experience
more failures. But personally, I would rather have the bravery to try something
and then fail than never to have tried it at all. I would much prefer spending the
rest of my days expanding my human frontiers and trying to make the seemingly
impossible probable than live a life of comfort, security and mediocrity. That’s
the essence of true life success. As Herodotus noted so sagely, “It is better by
noble boldness to run the risk of being subject to half of the evils we anticipate
than to remain in cowardly listlessness for fear of what may happen.” Or as
Booker T. Washington said, “I have learned that success is to be measured not so
much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles he has
overcome while trying to succeed.”
