Your Past Does Not Determine Your Future

Do you ever find yourself comparing yourself and feeling like you have so much less than others? What about that feeling you get when you start feeling like you're finally gaining traction in your life and then it stops? Is it lack of motivation? Is it laziness? Is it genetically your destiny to be a winner/loser?

What if I tell you nothing matters except what you think?

Your mind is the only thing that matters, not going to quote cheesy old dead people. Just telling you what I've figured out so far - nothing is set in stone but the progress you make. The past does not determine the future, it can however be used as a guide to look back on, it'll help make sure you keep in mind what past actions will produce.

The only thing worth sharing to people is your experiences because there's real world applications to the advice. So for a moment stop and think about those days you've felt like you were at the bottom of the barrel, and now think about the moments you've felt like the king on the mountain overlooking your people.

How crazy is that? We can feel two completely opposite poles of positions/powers in society but you are just you. You can choose to feel what you THINK!

Keep tabs on yourself like you do friends. Catch up with yourself and write down some past accomplishments this month. Each and every month, and with time this will snowball into a habit that will pay you back 100 times over.

Don't have much written down after a month? No worries, this life isn't a race. Enjoy the moments and slow the bickering down! It's all a beautiful journey and no one said it was going to be easy. Just worth it. The more effort you put in, the more you get out of life.

So what if you only did 3 things worth mentioning this month, this concept might be different or new to you and all you needed is a reminder. This life is all yours and worth experiencing, if you want it to be!

Next month will be better and the next one after! Give yourself goals - put yourself in a situation you are out of your confort zone, do something that has a positive result but truly makes you want to quit, do something you'd never thought you would have done.

Embrace yourself because you are in for a ride!

Was already planning this post and then I came across @luciancovaci

I'm new to Steemit and I'm really liking what I see in this community. Let's snowball this to take over the world, who cares if it's not as big as facebook - they are owned by the elite that don't want to produce poets, artists, or anyone worth remembering.
