Look eagerly ahead

Let your life and your world benefit from the freedom that comes with acceptance. What has happened, has happened, and there’s no gain in fighting against the past.

Sure, there are people and factors to blame, and it’s important to avoid making the same mistake again. It’s just as important to put most of your energy into moving forward.

Acceptance and forgiveness go a long way to making that forward movement possible. You don’t have to agree that what happened was right, but it’s essential to fully accept that it did indeed happen.

Accept what has been, and what is, with eyes wide open to the positive possibilities. Then embrace the opportunity to make things right.

Leave behind the desire for blame and retribution. Focus your thoughts, energy, and efforts on the good outcomes you can now create.

Free yourself from the difficulties of the past by finding ways to leave those difficulties where they were, in the past. Accept what is, and look eagerly ahead, ready to make your world better than ever.
