In the past...

In the past...

This is how a lot of the conversations I have with people start when the subject is losing weight, getting healthier or just feeling better. It is understandable, especially when the person in the mirror looking back at you is a stranger, or worse it feels like aliens, 10 pounds or more of them at least, have taken control of your body. Reaching back to grab on to something familiar is a natural reaction.

On the other hand, it's important to remember -- "You can never plan the future by the past." (Edmund Burke)

The past is simply that - the past - filled with great memories and unforgettable experiences never to come back in the way they existed. Instead of trying so hard to "get it all back", why not focus on the power to create what you want here and now? Reach out to the good things that are waiting for you, and make a promise to bring into your life all that you deserve.

There is a great possibility that the promise of what is yours to have today is more exciting and fulfilling then you ever could have expected, and the future is even better than you imagined. Just be sure you're facing in the right direction so you don't miss out, or worse, let your moment pass you by.
