As we move into the New Year, often this can be a stressful time as we close out the old year and work to create new goals and determine our direction for a new year. So for the next three weeks we'll cover, "The Three Rules For Turning Stress Into Success." So let's go ahead and cover our first rule.
1. Accept the Unchangeable - Everything that has happened in your life to this minute is unchangeable. It's history. The greatest waste of energy is in looking back at missed opportunities, lamenting past events, grudge collecting, getting even, harboring ill will, and any vengeful thinking. Success is the only acceptable form of revenge. By forgiving your trespassers, you become free to concentrate on going forward with your life and succeeding in spite of your detractors. You will live a rewarding and fulfilling life.
Your enemies, on the other hand, will forever wonder how you went on to become so successful without them and in the shadow of their doubts.
Action Idea: Write down on a sheet of paper things that happened in the past that bother you. Now crumple the paper into a ball and throw it at the computer screen. This symbolizes letting go of past misfortunes.
Work on letting go of the past, forgiving yourself and others and move forward! -- DW
