Stop trying to create your future. This is why…
Time…we’ve been going about it the WRONG way. Make this one SHIFT and change TIME FOREVER…
Yes, it’s about TIME.
This is today’s S.O.L. Story. This is what happened…
Oh my goodness, it changes everything!!
THIS IS WHAT I NOW KNOW ABOUT TIME…
Stop “trying” to create your future. You can’t.
Here’s what I used to know about time:
1. We never seem to have enough of it.
But isn’t time infinite?
So is your past.
2. It goes way too fast.
But where does it go?
It goes into the past.
3. Most people live in the past.
So why not?
4. You can’t erase your past.
But you can create it, by creating the “rest of the story”…
The only thing you can create is THE PAST. YOUR PAST.
We cannot create the future. We can only create the past.
The only way to live your future is to create your past. In the present.
STOP TRYING TO CREATE YOUR FUTURE
Most people blame their past for their present, and their present on their past. Who blames the future? Who does the past blame? Who does the future blame?
Perhaps you’ll blame your future on your past or present. So why not create an awesome past in your present?
We can’t create something that’s never happened.
The future hasn’t happened yet, and we can’t create it.
The future will ALWAYS be in the future. Tomorrow is always tomorrow, until it becomes today. Once we’re there it’s no longer “future.” It’s the present, which is the future’s past.
I know, it’s pretty amazing, isn’t it?
The only place we can create, is IN the present. (IN TIME.)
And what we’re creating is the past!
We can rewrite our past!
The future doesn’t actually exist…
The only thing that exists is our “present” creating our “past.”
And guess what, our present reflects our past.
We’re responsible for our past, not our future.
We don’t know what the future holds. BUT…
We DO know what the past holds…because we’re creating it!
WHAT ARE YOU CREATING? Are you creating a past you LOVE? (It’s not too late, my dear!)
Please grab your SACRED S.O.L. D.A.T.E. JOURNAL (Daily Action To Engage yourself.)
TODAY’S SACRED S.O.L. STEP:
Take a look at your life. Take a look at your present, and begin to see it as creating an incredible, awesome, new past.
Write down what that would look like for you.
Write down how you feel about it.
I would love to hear what you come up with.
What do you think and feel about this whole new perspective on time?
