Touch, Pause .... Engage!

Learn from the past, but don't wallow in it.  No one enjoys hearing about how tough your life has been and why your circumstances are worse than theirs.  The quicker one realises that there is nothing you can do to retrieve the past, or push the re- record button, the better equipped we become to take on life's challenges.  The mistakes you may have made and the decisions that haunt you, are certainly not going to change the facts, so to spend time reflecting on how and where you may have gone wrong, is a true waste of time.  And it is most certainly, precious time.  Every day has but only a few moments, which should be captured and savoured and held in your heart, or etched in your memory.  You cannot take all 24 hours and hope to achieve a perfect 10.  The sooner you are able to move from the memory, to a place of reality, the quicker you will be able to influence your surroundings and your industry.  Worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow, it empties today of its strength.  Worry will eat away at the positive moments and the moments which are about to become part of your positive conscience and it will destroy your courage and a vision that things can be better, even if they end up being different or new.  Frustration hangs around like a car guard ready to pounce and take a snippet from every positive situation.  It can heap up and boil over and your tears will wash it clean.  If you need to shed a few tears, go ahead and do so, for it is not always a sign of weakness, or lack of strength. People cry, not because they are weak, it's because they have been strong for too long!  Finding that release will wash away frustration, anger and negative thoughts and put you back in pole position to push forward ONCE AGAIN.
