Helping others become even better versions of themselves
Our past is a treasure store of plans and goals that we actualised, things we achieved, things we experience, kind things we did, people we loved, great things that we said, created, and so on.
It’s a store full of past treasures that are there for a lifetime.
Perhaps better than looking back into the past for only things that we did wrong and bad experiences.
Our past is great, if we look for it.
As always, it is just a question of the attitude we want to apply to life, it’s a simple choice.
What if?
Often we say those two words after something has or hasn’t happened. ‘What if I had got up earlier?’, ‘What if I had only said….’, ‘What if we had spent more time listening to her’, ‘What if….’.
The fact is we didn’t get up earlier and we were late, we didn’t say that thing and we missed out, we didn’t listen to someone before it was too late.
We are always analysing the past and playing out scenarios in our heads to see how things could have played out differently. It is a waste of time, as it’s an outcome you can’t alter.
Rather than ‘what if…?’ we decided to say ‘what can I do to change?’.
Changing ourselves is the key to better future outcomes and a good deal less of ‘what if?’.
