Do you ever feel like your past is holding you back?

Like there’s something you can’t let go of and it’s preventing you from being who you really want to be?

Yes, we’ve all been there. It’s like wearing clothes that just don’t fit anymore. They’re too small, and they’re extremely uncomfortable.

It’s easy to get stuck in the past and keep carrying around that heavy weight on our shoulders: looking back on a bad end to a relationship, a career-ending mistake, or even a missed opportunity.

It can get frustrating and tempting to dwell in regret. However, remaining stuck in the past will only hold you back from living fully in the present moment.

Your moment of release comes at a time when you realize something isn’t working anymore. When you realize that trying to hold on isn’t serving you — it’s hurting you. And so you make an active choice to let go of whatever is holding you back from your future.

Because some people see a wall, and assume that’s the end of their journey. Others see it, and decide it’s just the beginning.”– Angeline Trevena
