"You can't Move Forward Successfully if Your Head is Turned Looking Backwards"

The choices we make every day give us the ability to focus our mental energy on whatever we choose. We can either dwell on the past or move beyond it and focus on our present. Any time you dwell on your past failures you only create more fear about your opportunities in the future.

The past is a locked door. No matter how hard you may try, you cannot go back and change it. Your point of power is in the present-it is what you do with your present time and energy. Your future is created by the thoughts and energy you use today. It is always up to you to give yourself permission to stop talking about and thinking about what happened in the past. Focus your mental, physical and emotional life energy on what you are going to create now.

What your future will look like is totally depend on what information and self-direction you give yourself with your self-talk. It is a practiced skill to learn to be able to choose what thoughts come into your mind, rather that be ruled by the thoughts the flow at random. You must recognize that you have the power of control to master your inner dialogue. To make your mind obey you rather that control you.
