Have you ever regretted mistakes from the past?
I am sure everyone has at some point in their life. We can’t change the past, however we can change the future right now!
I was reading the Daily Guides in the March issue of the ‘Science of Mind’ magazine by Rev. Christie Hardwick. Her title was, “You Can Edit Your Life Story.” She said,” The life we have left. What’s true for every one of us reading this, whether we’re in our third decade of our eighth, is that we are the authors of every chapter. And this human experience is limited.”
I am in the decade of my 70’s soon to be in the 80’s and I look back on my life with both remorse and gratitude. The remorse is, “I wish I had done things differently…” and the gratitude is, “Thank God I didn’t.” Over the years I have learned so much about myself through reflection, introspection, honesty about why I made the decisions I did, right or wrong. I recognized my thoughts and attitudes at different stages of my life. My life has been FULL and mostly wonderful! Each decade was like a continuous book of life. Each year its chapters. The beauty is I AM STILL writing my book and living out my chapters.
And knowing this, I can EDIT the now to change the chapters of the future!!! I am the sole writer of my LIFE BOOK. I have the power to edit, change my future chapters by the power of my word and my pen! I journal everyday and look back on how the events I journaled took place, even better than I thought.
Three things I say each day as I am in my prayer and meditation time.
- I Forgive myself, past, present and future. For I know time is only mans creation. There is no time in God.
- I AM not the person I was in my past. I AM who I AM NOW.
- Everything in my past has brought me here today, and I am Grateful!
What are you saying to yourself each day to bring JOY, Happiness and Creativity in your life? You have the power to write your own story, now and the future. The human past is the past, so bless it and be grateful for it!
You are God’s Divine Creation. Can’t get better than that!
