You Can Change The Past

You can't change the past, right?
Right?
Last Saturday hanging out at a resort Diane and I
go to frequently ("Happyland," for those who
follow both of us). I wanted to write to you guys,
but didn't have the time to sit and put out a full note.
So I pulled up an article from last August called
Four Things You Must Have For Success. Hard
to go wrong with something like that...right?
Right?
Well...
It wasn't until I sent the note out to my subscribers
until I noticed...the article included a reference to a
project I had worked on last year that was very much
in the past.
Very much, as in I really didn't want to be part
of the present.
So I fretted for about 90 seconds, concerned that
people would read the note and get the idea that
something that was very much a part of the past
was also something in the present.
Then I remembered...
I can edit the posts on my blog!
Right?
So that's exactly what I did. Took out all the
references to the parts that no longer apply and got
a clean article...with only the stuff I'm interested
in bringing to the "now."
Wiped it away. A do-over.
No...I don't know of any way to change the past.
And I wouldn't want to even if I could.
Yeah, some crappy things happened in it. To you,
to me, to all of us.
We learned from them.
Seriously...I am the author of my life. There's no
way I am who I am now (which I like quite a bit)
unless I went through each and every one of those
experiences.
And everyone who got hurt as a result of who I am...
They got their own chance to heal, learn, grow
and get stronger.
They get to practice compassion and forgiveness...
just as I have toward the people who hurt me.
You can change the past.
By not being its prisoner.
You can take the good parts with you.
And with today's technology, you can give much
of it a fresh coat of paint. And edit some of the bad
parts out.
Either way, stop being a slave to it.
Stop repeating the same patterns over and over again.
Live in the now.
Change the past...change yourself.
Much Love,
Larry
I have taught untold numbers of people how to use
the past to their advantage.
To change what it means to them.
And they have used that skill to turbocharge business,
advance careers, lose weight, even find love.
HOW TO RECEIVE.
Or if you like..."how to change the past."
Get it while the gettin's good.
