Leave the past where it is.

Todays challenge is today’s,  yesterday’s challenges are to be learnt from or forgotten. One thing I have learnt to do (learning to do) is to leave negativity behind. Refuse it in my life, to choose only positive choices. The more days I live like this, the more love I feel for the ones that truly care about me. The more important true friends become. It does not matter who you are, what challenges you will face, it’s about what we choose to accept in our lives. People work together not because they are perfect, but because they are willing to accept everything about them. Life is about accepting where someone is at, or walking away. A friend will accept you with all your flaws, its a great place to be, being accepted no matter what. They are the family we choose.

  
Isn’t it about not remembering the past that’s no good, isn’t it about remembering the good stuff, encouraging someone when they feel that they can’t, helping them to believe that they can. I know I have made many mistake and God knows I have been reminded of such often. But I want to break that process, I won’t listen to negativity. I only want positives in my life, even if it’s a negative situation like cancer I WILL turn it around. There is no room in life for dwelling on the past, dwelling on dark places that were. It’s about the daylight, it’s about learning from the past to make our future better.

  
When I beat cancer the first time, I carried on smoking, carried on eating saturated fats, carried on eating processed foods that my body had no idea how to process. It came back, WOW massive surprise. Of course it came back I had made no life changes. The changes I have made, are to eat limited saturated fat, less bread and eat allot of food that grew in the ground. Vegetables are something I never ate in my past, I was a meat man. Not now I will eat my veggies before I finish my meat, if we are hit by cancer we need to make amendments, educate ourselves, and make sure that the changes we make, are ones that will help give ourselves, the best chances to keep cancer away. Although my cancer was not linked to my lifestyle, it can’t help to higher my chances of never getting it again. Can it.

  
Leave the past where it is, unless it’s to learn from that’s what I am learning. It’s a shame wise people (I am not wise yet) are usually to old to benefit from it. I just hope that some people reading these blogs, become wise before their time benefiting from their past.

Have a great week

Everyday for me is about becoming a better person, more rounded. (I don’t mean fat) a person that has something to give as opposed to needing to take. God knows I don’t get it right all the time, in fact some may see me as a failure. What ever is thought by others I can’t change so why worry, what does it matter anyway. Peoples opinions won’t change because it bothers me, the only person it hurts is me. All I do every day is my best, although I get it wrong on times I DO my best to get it right next time. I do my best I never try, we all know there is no try only do or do not.

  
Me and Andie often discuss, how we can be better people, one of my major downfalls is humility. But is that true. Maybe I am confident and that’s interpreted differently to what I am intending on projecting. I am not naturally confident, some may laugh at that who know me really well. It’s true though sometimes I just don’t consider the consequences. I just go in whole heartedly, giving what ever I am doing my whole heart. There are no grey areas with me, no Inbetween. Just decisions I make or don’t make, some of my better choices I write down in a blog and i do my best to carry them out in my everyday life. Learning everyday to be a better me.

  
I don’t know what you think, but I guess doing your best to be better is a better choice than holding onto the baggage that weighs us down making us sluggish and breeding things like depression, anger, and giving us feelings like hopelessness. If we feel like we are doing our best, what more can we do? If our best is not good enough for someone else who’s problem is that? My opinion is its not my issue but theirs, and one thing that’s a fact is. There is no way I am carrying around someone else’s problems by making them my own.

   

I am happy with who I am, but not so happy that I don’t daily want to become a better me. I wonder what you choose?
