Dolce Vita!
What is one such thing common about all of us?
We all somewhere go into our past and start the permutations and combinations game. We become judgemental about our present by peeping into our past that has NO significance in our present and definitely no connection to our future.
YES! I agree I was the one who blogged saying – Go Learn from your mistakes but that is just to learn where you went wrong in your life in your past. I never posted saying that carry your past while you are far away from it.
Past will never let you grow and the more you crib around it, the more you lose control on your present. This is a lesson we are taught even in Art of Living that live in your present. There is no such thing ‘past’ or ‘future’. Your journey should be around how to better your present not what you lost in past and how you got defeated. If you are alive even after a single defeat in life that means you are a winner and your past is nothing but a small challenge to judge your will power and strength.
I read a very nice poem written by Berton Braley
I am posting it as a part of this postJ. Read and enjoy!
Start where you stand and never mind the past,
The past won't help you in beginning new,
If you have left it all behind at last
Why, that's enough, you're done with it, you're through;
This is another chapter in the book,
This is another race that you have planned,
Don't give the vanished days a backward look,
Start where you stand.
The past won't help you in beginning new,
If you have left it all behind at last
Why, that's enough, you're done with it, you're through;
This is another chapter in the book,
This is another race that you have planned,
Don't give the vanished days a backward look,
Start where you stand.
The world won't care about your old defeats
If you can start anew and win success,
The future is your time, and time is fleet
And there is much of work and strain and stress;
Forget the buried woes and dead despairs,
Here is a brand new trial right at hand,
The future is for him who does and dares,
Start where you stand.
If you can start anew and win success,
The future is your time, and time is fleet
And there is much of work and strain and stress;
Forget the buried woes and dead despairs,
Here is a brand new trial right at hand,
The future is for him who does and dares,
Start where you stand.
Old failures will not halt, old triumphs aid,
To-day's the thing, to-morrow soon will be;
Get in the fight and face it unafraid,
And leave the past to ancient history;
What has been, has been; yesterday is dead
And by it you are neither blessed nor banned,
Take courage, man, be brave and drive ahead,
Start where you stand.
To-day's the thing, to-morrow soon will be;
Get in the fight and face it unafraid,
And leave the past to ancient history;
What has been, has been; yesterday is dead
And by it you are neither blessed nor banned,
Take courage, man, be brave and drive ahead,
Start where you stand.
Start your day with a note ‘I will live in PRESENT ONLY!’
