To live in the past is to go about the activities of today bearing the burdens and regrets of yesterday with you. It is to blame others or your own self for what went wrong. By doing so, you successfully shut yourself off from possibilities and provision at the moment.
One other Imperfect way is to live in the present. While this is a step ahead of living in the past, it involves making making decisions based available facts and prevailing circumstances. It is what some people call living in reality.
It is only in the present that any man compares with another. When each of us achieves the full realization of God's plans and purpose for our lives, we become uniquely successful, having no need to look down on others or be intimidated by anothers man success. Try ur possible best to take your mind off the former things, denounce them and forge ahead.
One important way to open up yourself to new possibilities and experience is to let go of your hurts, the feelings of rejection and failure. Let the thought of whatever negative things you might have experienced last year go!
So dear today you are going to sit down and deliberately say " all the negative experience you had last year are divorced",
PREPARE FOR YOUR OPPORTUNITIES
One of the major reason people fail today or miss important opportunities is the lack of adequate preparation.
It is never enough to get excited over a new opportunity , avoid pain and embarassment of being Stranded halfway and what soever you have set out to accomplish by nd being careful to prepare adequately for these opportunities.
In the same way, the man who claims to wait for the fulfillment of God promise, adequately prepare to live in that promise. He must put in place plans for that new phase of life that he expects so he would not be caught unawares.
After you work towards opportunities try as much as possible to
SUPERIMPOSE THE TRUTH ON FACTS
When the truth has to be based on my physical senses, it is called facts, but when truth goes beyond mental capacity into the possibility it becomes truth.
Facts are not enemies of the truth, they are only lesser truths. There is nothing wrong in being aware that there is cancer in your body, after all you can feel the pains and symptoms , but u have to acknowledge the possibilities that there is a healing for you.
CONCLUSION
Life is full of up and downs , right and wrong, try to forsake past experiences, consider those things you have to let go, list them out and work on trashing them thave and focus mainly on your possibilities.
