i'm a newbie i'm sitting back reading all these blogs and my mind is about to explode ....a lot of you aren't dwelling on the the stuff you don't have and not even count the blessings of the the ones you do... this is the problem with society today in my opinion we worried about what the next man has ..but we're not appreciative to what we have become so far ..i don't know about you but this is disturbing to me everyone goes threw trials and tribulations ,everyone has hard times ,but if you still alive to tell about them ........i believe truly that that's a success story no matter how bad whatever it is she or he went threw.. the bottom line is if you keep on doing what you been doing you'll keep on getting what you been getting... don't let your thoughts control your life ...

Do not regret about past & do not think about future :)

@boyceW just think how good humanity would be if everyone focused on their own agenda ... if we all handled our own negativity there wouldn't be any ....... because at the end of the day it's never as bad as it seems

@boyceW :if you assume that there is a negative part of humanity...then you most certainly experience it in life and keep on noticing negative aspects and may forget to admire the beauty out of it.....don't think or i'd say don't stress about future or past....just live present b'coz tomorow is mystery, yesterday is history and today is a gift ...that's why it is called 'PRESENT'.
According to me in order to get motivated or accomplish something one should rely minimum on the sources and just concentrate on our efforts on how to improve them mostly by our own.B'coz it'll be you and only you who'll atlast br able to climb.

@SuzaneV : yeaaah.....very true...
in order to built better future....one should always accept the past(1st)then move on ....because getting distracted from it won't do any good...
no matter how bad your future was ....accept it and try everyday to see yourself through it.....try yoga to calm your nerves and feel dilighted about and it'll surely help get better.......................soon you'll thank your destiny to embrace you with past failures which helped you.
only if you try.....you can turn anything into your motivation if you relly want something with deep heart.....

@SuzaneV I'm not saying it's easy to shake your past and build a better future but in order to do so it's absolutely mandatory to shake the past and build a better future... i'd learned anything that's good for you does require a little extra effort and i agree it seems that you have a little bit more obstacles to dodge than maybe most... but the fact that you overcame whatever it is you went through to get to where you are is still a remarkable story .....

Don't let your past control your future? Mmmmm, that's easier said than done. What if your past follows you like your shadow and doesn't matter what you do you cant shake it off. Every morning you look in the mirror and see the person you running away from, the person you swore you will not become, you see the personality you were trying to kill before it stuck out its nasty little head. That's when you do what I did, and only took those that matter and move to a entire different state, start a whole new beginning, fresh like a new day, not forgetting the past because that is what keeps you motivated to build a better future.

Insanity is doing the same thing over and over but still expecting to see different results. If we keep seeing the same results, it's time to change our behavior. Don't you think? And I agree, we've gotten too materialistic and forgotten to count our blessings.

I feel a lot of things are easier said than done . The author divulges the details very affirmatively about the things that he said but probably the reality of life is not that pleasant as it sounds in words.
