Past-An Opportunity or An Obstacle

Forget the past. No one becomes successful in the past.

An age old habit of humans is the reminiscence of the past. We keep the memories of the past intact to us wishing if we could have changed things. Many a times past is blamed for the condition we are in today. We do not take positives out of the past but only negatives.

Past is what has happened and nothing can be changed about it. We as humans keep doubting our abilities due to our poor experiences from the past that led to our resultant  failures. People do not succeed at one go. Hard work and perseverance are two determinants that lead us to our goals. One failure or one bad experience does not mean the end of our journey. It does not close the doors to our success. It’s just a small obstacle in our path.

A lot can be learnt from our past experiences and worked out in the present to see successful results in our future. Determination cannot be shut down due to failure. Failures are just an indication that we have tried but failed to achieve what we wanted to. Failures should be taken up as a motivator that can boost us to reach our goals more anxiously and in a determined manner. We should learn from our past to ride the roller coasters in our present. We cannot go back and undo what’s been done. Instead we can courageously strive towards our goals in the present. We should know the importance of living in the present by learning from our past because there’s always a new day.
