“When you make a mistake, don’t look back at it long.  Take the reason of the thing into your mind and then look forward.  Mistakes are lessons of wisdom.  The past cannot be changed.  The future is yet in your power.”  ~ Hugh White

Good Morning!  

When I was about sixteen, I had one of those lightbulb moments.  As a teen, I battled obsessive-compulsive disorder (and still do today), but at that point, I had not yet been diagnosed and my thoughts and emotions were all over the board.  I often felt discouraged, would beat myself up, or feel guilty – many times for things that were completely out of my control.

I also lived in a very small town, about three hundred residents in all.  There was a local café where many people would cluster and discuss the town gossip.  I was amazed at how much of this gossip focused on the negative and on the past.  As I listened, I realized that in my mind, I was doing much the same thing.  I was rehashing the past, feeling guilt for it, and losing the present moment as I battled something from yesterday.

The lightbulb moment came when I asked myself, “How would my life change is I spent nine-tenths of that time focusing on changing the present instead of rehashing the past?”  Not only did I ask the question, I began living the answer.  My life changed in phenomenal ways.  By living in the moment, yet learning from the past, the concept of regret became a rare one for me, because I was making today count.

At sixteen, I didn’t realize that moment would become the first building block for living a content and complete life.  I didn’t know it would be a building block for the Change Your Life Challenge program that has helped over ten thousand women find the same contentment in all areas of their lives.

Your Turn:  What if you devoted nine-tenths of the time you now spend thinking about the past to changing the present?  I know you would realize wonderful things.  Try it for thirty days.  This simple concept can revolutionize your life.

Today’s Affirmation:  I learn from the past, but I don’t sit in detention…instead I move forward and maximize the moment.


And as always, don't forget to start your day with a heartfelt: "Something great is going to happen today... I can't wait to see what it is!"

And when ending your day ask yourself: "What is one more thing I can do to make today matter?
