"The past is a good place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there." - Author Unknown
Got back on my bike this week after a long hiatus. It felt good to get out there again. One thing I noticed this morning while riding was all the houses for sale. I counted at least a dozen in my neighborhood.
It's always good to move on, doesn't necessarily mean on to bigger & better things, but moving on to a better situation. Hanging onto the past doesn't allow you the opportunity to embrace the future with open arms. Whatever mistakes that were made in the past, learn from them and move on. If the row gets harder to hoe, don't wish for the times that were easier.
Grudges, now I have a hard time with this one, need to be set free and let go of. By holding grudges you are allowing the people that originally hurt you to continue to do so with the constant reminder in the back of your brain. You may not be able to forget, but you should be able to forgive.
Moving past the roadblocks in our journeys are imperative if we want to succeed. What may seem like Mt. Kilimanjaro now, may in reality be a simple mole hill when we look back on it when we have moved on.
Keep that in mind today, what roadblocks are in your way today? What do you need to change in order to move on?
"When one door closes another door opens; but we so often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door, that we do not see the ones which open for us." - Alexander Graham Bell
