Acceptance - Hard & Necessary

​Similar to fear, the past and future are products of your mind.
No amount of guilt can change the past, and no amount of anxiety can change the future.
Successful people know this, and they focus on living in the present moment.
It’s impossible to reach your full potential if you’re constantly somewhere else, unable to fully embrace the reality (good or bad) of this very moment.

To live in the moment, you must do two things:

Accept your past.
If you don’t make peace with your past, it will never leave you and it will create your future. Successful people know the only good time to look at the past is to see how far they’ve come.

Accept the uncertainty of the future.
Don’t place unnecessary expectations upon yourself. Worry has no place in the here and now.

As Mark Twain once said, “Worrying is like paying a debt you don’t owe.”
