Take a moment to heal by pausing and thinking about how much time has passed since an event like this has happened in your life, and how much have you missed in life because you haven‘t learned from the mistake of harboring regret. Then detach yourself from it by just choosing to live with my favorite three words ―Let It Go! By taking that one step, you will allow yourself to grow and thrive and be fulfilled because of the opportunities that you find in life. Wouldn‘t it make sense to just let it go, forget it, check it off as experience? Or just say to yourself ―everybody makes mistakes, that‘s just part of life, and then move on.

If the answer is yes, then why is it so hard for so many people to do just that? It is typical of human behavior to focus on the past instead of forward-thinking philosophy. Humans, without self-discipline, will often take the road of least resistance, meaning it is easier to hold on to what is hurting us than to go to a place that is unknown. We spend too much time worrying about what others think of us, when in reality, people have other things to think about than us! Are you ready to accept that there is a better way and a better life for you?

The Good Life Rules!

New Years Resolution: First Step Foward

First step forward: During each of my speaking events so far this year, I have seen many people who have lost hope because they have lost the ability to dream. The greatest gift in life is the ability to dream, but the ability to dream has truly become an idle factory with very dirty windows.

Dreaming alone is good, but to dream with others is great. Sometimes, you can go faster in life by yourself – “I’ll do it; I can do it faster.” But you will go further with others. I have had a lot of disappointments throughout my life, usually when I try to go at it alone. But I am much more successful when I have someone close to remind me of the Good Life Rule to be thankful for what you have and not yearn for impossibilities. When you have that ability to be thankful, you can accomplish so much more.

Again, I can hear you thinking that’s not right. My radio show each week is really helping me be able to hear what you are thinking out there, and now so will this blog. I’m talking about a different road and a lot of different ideas. I have personally seen what happens sometimes when it comes from the outside in. Sure I run across people all the time that are not satisfied with what they have and they keep getting more in life. Again, I’m talking about that peace in life that money can’t buy. It is your ability to grow from the inside, so when the outside gets better you can enjoy it more. Check in tomorrow for the second step.
