Eliminate Regrets

by Jane Powell on October 22, 2009

“Anything that you should have done, but didn’t, ties you to your past.”

Is your mental and emotional clutter getting in the way of a fulfilling life? It’s time to clean out the “need-to’s,” “have-to’s,” and “ought-to’s,” from your past. When you have regrets it’s tough to move forward and grow.

Put the past in the past. Return anything you borrowed.  Make apologies where needed. Get your bills up to date. Send the card or gift you forgot to send. Make the phone call you need to make.

Taking care of these things cleans your mental slate and eliminates any regrets or resentments you may harbor.

Now, take a deep breath; look ahead. Both your conscience, and your future vision, is clear.

Today’s Affirmation: I have put the past in the past, and I’m now looking ahead with optimism.

The saying that every problem has a solution’ is justified by so many of your articles but that of ELIMINATE REGRET wins it all for me. please keep it up, infact you are a mirror to so many hearts you see and reflect exactly what their hearts is and needs.
please keep it up.
