Does what happened in your past equal your future?
Only if you locked in beliefs based on what happened. If you allow your self-image to be defined by the past, then you’ll stay on the same track with the same kind of life and results.
To break free of the trajectory your past is projecting, you’ll need to change your beliefs about what happened and why, and who you really are.
See yourself as the person you want to be in the future, and become that different person internally; then the past does not equal the future.
Larry, thank you for your words of wisdom. this is quite timely in that this is a melatter I am working through currently. so my question is simply do you how any insight into the how of doing this. my upbringing was pretty bad and I have a host of negative beliefs that I need to replace but I find myself repeating some of the patterns that I have tried to break. thanks again for your insight
No, dear brothers and sisters, I have not achieved it, but I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead,
