LET IT GO
A
doctor with more than 25 years’ experience working with unhappy people wrote
that the two most common words he heard in his practice were the words “if
only.” It seemed that most un- happy people are held back by some event that
occurred in the past that they cannot let go of.
They are still resentful, angry, or depressed
over something that someone did or did not do or say. They are angry with one
or both parents, a sibling, a previous relationship or marriage, a boss or
business relationship, a failed investment or financial mistake. The fact is
that your life will be a continuous series of problems, difficulties, setbacks,
and temporary failures.
These
unexpected and unwanted reversals and disappointments are a normal, natural,
and unavoidable fact of growing up. To change your thinking and change your
life, you must make a decision to get over them and to get on with your life,
no matter what happened. Until you do, you remain a slave to the past, which
cannot be changed in any case.
Make
a decision today that, from now on, you are going to eliminate all the “if
only’s” from your life.
