The past is only good for
one thing
Before I get started, when
I talk about re- living the past, I am not talking about your memories.
Memories are great and being able to enjoy your memories with family and
friends, or even just remembering great times your self is a very good thing.
When I talk about the past being good for just one thing, I am talking about
living in the past.
We all know the people who
never seem to escape their past and talk about it as if it were now. It’s like
the high school football player whose in his 50’s and still talks about the touchdown
he scored 30 years ago and never seems to move forward. Getting caught in the
past is a very bad thing and it can stifle people from becoming successful in
other ways. I packed up all my old baseball trophies many years ago and only
think about those good old days, when someone else brings it up, or I look at
an old picture or read an old article about the past. But the past can be a
very valuable teaching tool and failure in the past is the greatest teacher of
them all.
In my business of Property
Management in Anaheim Ca. I look to the past so that I can learn for the
future. In business we all either make mistakes or we know that we could have
handled a situation better than we did and if we look to the past and are
determined not to make the same mistakes then the past can be a very valuable
tool.
As people we are susceptible
to falling into bad habits and patterns that are very destructive for us. It’s
like when people get into bad relationships and then when they finally get out
of them, the next relationship is exactly the same with exactly the same type
of person, We for some reason are drawn to certain circumstances and do it over
and over again. Just think about how much better our lives could be if we could
use the past as a barometer for our future and before we make any decision,
we stop and look at the mistakes we have
made and make sure we don’t repeat the same activity again just to fail again.
There is nothing wrong
with failure and if we never fail then we probably never take any risk and life
is only good when we challenge ourselves and much of the time that means taking
risks of some type. The person who locks themselves in a room in fear of
failure has in essence failed.
So when we look to the
past, make sure we look at the past as a road map to the future and in that map
we don’t travel those rocky roads that we have already traversed.
