"Live out of your imagination…not your history."
Stephen Covey

 

"I'm just not good at…"

"I know that's probably not good, but that's just the way I've always been."

"I'm not the kind of person who starts their own business."

"That's just the way it is in my family, we don't…"

"You can't teach and old dog new tricks."

We can learn valuable lessons from the past that can help us avoid repeating the same missteps. The past also serves to provide us with wonderful memories that we can call on to warm our hearts when needed.

The past becomes a trap, however, when we use it as an excuse for what we do (or don't do) today. It becomes a straightjacket when we allow it to limit what we can accomplish in the future.

Today, decide how you want to be, not based on your past history, but on your best hope for the future. You may have a family history, but who you are today is your responsibility and your choice.
