Here are 3 Superior Things For You To Think About Today
Now is what you deal with. The past is what you learn from.
NOW is the moment. NOW will never come again. NOW is where our focus should be directed.
Unfortunately, all too often, we will focus on the past. We will beat ourselves over the head for the things we did wrongi n the past. That is not the way it needs to be.
I'm not saying we should ignore our past. I'm simply saying we should not be obsessed by it.
If we continually live in the past, we will get nowhere. If you want to get somewhere; examine your past, learn from it and then move onto into the hear and now and use your experience to deal with the challenges you face today.
If you can't change your friends, then CHANGE your friends.
When I first heard this quote, I found it a very interesting play on words.
How many of us have friends who sometimes drive us nuts, BUT we either CAN'T or WON'T get rid of them?
I'd venture to say pretty much all of us do.
You could also just as well apply this saying to your relatives. After all, we usually can't get rid of our relatives.
What I'm suggesting here is that if you are stuck with these people, AND you're going to have to deal with these people for many years to come, work with them, help them grow, try to make them better.
Never allow someone to be your priority while allowing yourself to be their option.
I learned this lesson the hard way during one of my long-term dating relationships.
I kept making the girl I was dating into my priority. Whatever she wanted, I would make it happen.
However, when it came time to get married, she didn't want to get married. She wanted to look around and see if she could find something better.
After a few years, I began to wise up and started looking elsewhere and all in all, I think I've done pretty well for myself.
The bottom line is that I was just her option; her fallback position. I was NEVER her number one priority, despite the fact that for years she was mine.
I don't want you to make the same mistake.
