Moving Forward Again

Fifthly we need to stop choosing to do nothing.  We are fortunate that we do not know the hour or the minute appointed for our death and we have no choice in that time.  So having identified that we cannot control this aspect, we may as well decide to do something about our lives right now.  Every day we are blessed to complete, should not be an analysis of what we could have done, but rather of what we did do and how we did it (in excellence and with passion).  We also need to abandon the need to always be right.  I do believe in excellence in everything, but this does not preclude us from saying and accepting when we are wrong.  This helps us to learn new things and to move forward without getting trapped in pride that we cannot be wrong and everyone else around us, must be the problem.  We can end up spending far too much of our precious lives justifying how we are not wrong, but ultimately to accept a part in any mistake and move on is far more beneficial to the end game, especially if the thing that you want is worth so much more than getting stuck in the justification, of whether you are right or wrong.  Next we need to stop running. Stand and face the issues and fix the problems, don't slink into despair or self persecution. Communicate and express your love to those that you care about and be sure to love the people in your life that deserve it.  It may sometimes feel like they don't love you back, but never let that stop you from loving them anyway. In eighth place we need to stop making excuses rather than decisions, because many long term failures are borne out of excuses instead of failures.  You have to try (properly not just with words) to see if something will work or you will not ever be able to establish for real, if you are not willing to give the situation or circumstance a chance.  You have a hundred percent chance of failing if you do not even try.  Remember not to overlook the positive points in your life.  We see the things we are looking for and this can influence our lives into a particular direction.  It will be extremely hard to be truly happy if you are not thankful for the good things in your life right now.  Patience is a virtue it is said, but how often are we not pushing for things to happen as we want them (often immediately).  But we need to afford ourselves the time to enjoy the things in our lives as they are now; what we have now may not be that bad and in fact may be exactly where we need to be, now.  Finally, the last thing to let go is not appreciating the present moment, because this above most others things is pivotal to reaching our goals.  In golf if your body is moving when you hit the ball, it will not go straight.  Similarly in life we need to be steady in the little things and become good in what we have and do now, before we can embark on the accomplishment of something huge.  Life is made up of many little things and added up together, they result in a far grater life than we can imagine.
