I’ve messed up in everything from cooking a pot of rice, to nurturing a healthy marriage. What I’m about to say may sound calloused, but there’s no shame in letting go of the past, when you tried but really messed up.

Start over with a fresh pot of rice, there’s no use in torturing your taste buds. Start over in your relationships, once you know you’ve given it your all and you realize that parting ways in love may be the healthiest solution for all involved.

Today, I have a little thought that I want to share with you and it’s something that I think can have a big impact in your life, if you take time to recognize the truth of it in your own life. It’s about the past.

I Failed to Make the Connection

A while back I was working on my book, which I’ll be publishing soon on Amazon. I was working on the title. I realized, “I’m just really not getting it. I’m not connecting with the essence of what’s in my book.”

[callout]Update: Have you checked out my book? I just released “So? Start Over!: Experience Clarity, Do What Matters, Live Your Dream” which includes worksheets, cheatsheets, and bonus material. Click here to check it out![/callout]

I was sitting there and I was starting all over. It felt like I was starting from scratch, and it just hit me in that moment. “So what? Just start over.”

Does The Past Have This Effect On Your Life?

You see, very often we use the past, we use things that we’ve been through, things that have happened to us as hitching posts. We’re sort of stuck on them and we want to keep them.

I was like that with my title. I wanted to keep the wording or the different aspects of the title that I had and I just realized, “Let it all go, let the past go and have a fresh start, even if you have to start over. Sometimes that’s what you’ve gotta do.”

And, sure enough, I did and now it’s ready and it’ll be coming out soon. I hope you grab a copy, because in the book, my life pretty much came to a complete standstill.

It’s No Fun Hitting Bottom: Divorce, Career Failure…

I lost everything that I was working towards, my career, even my faith took a hit. I got divorced, I lost a family that was really something very important to me.

Now I’m rebuilding it, I’m rebuilding my life. I’m working on things that I love to do and my children, they’re doing great, my communication with my ex is great, but I had to come to that point and I share some of those stories with you. I hope that they really help you.

Even if you don’t get the book, keep coming by and watching these videos, because I want to keep giving you the essence of what can make your life work and help you to start over, help you to let go of that past and go into a new future, free from the past being a hitching post, that is just sort of tying you back and keeping you back.

Use the past as  as a guidepost. Look at those things that you learned, the failures that you experienced, learn from them and go on.

Now I’m going to leave you with the quote for today.

[shareable cite=”Guy Finley”]Nothing in the universe can stop you from letting go and starting over.[/shareable]

Now, here’s your affirmation, but be sure to remember one thing–write this affirmation down. Keep it by your beside or on your bathroom mirror, somewhere where you can repeat it at least twice a day.

In the morning when you wake up, repeat it five times. In the evening when you go to bed just say it five times out loud, and see it make a change in your life.
