Thought Of The Day - Different Lives

Thought Of The Day - Different Lives

Think of all the different lives we could have led. What about the talents that we nearly developed but never gave quite enough energy to? Or the relationships that might have come to mean so much, yet which slipped away before their potential had been fully realised? The career choices we could have made and the ones we selected instead? Do we have reason for regret? Absolutely not. But we do have reason to look more carefully at what is in front of us now. It could turn out to be offering us more than we realise.

Thought Of the Day - Old Feelings

It's time to let go of old feelings we no longer have a use for. Those feelings might include regret over a path not taken, anger at someone who betrayed us, sadness over someone who let us down. While we're at it, we should let go of self-doubt, guilt over a poor choice or an error in judgment, and jealousy of someone who we think is better than us at something. When we finally shed all of these useless emotions, then we - the dazzling, enchanting, interesting WE - will be free to reach for a dream that is waiting for the real us to make an appearance.
