Moving Forward

Can you believe we have already passed the two decades mark into this new millennium? I can remember the hoopla around the turn of the millennium as if it were only yesterday! Then I recall all that has taken place since then. Looking back, as I pointed out last week, often brings up a series of regrets. This is not a good thing because it takes you back into an old energy, an old way of perceiving and thinking.
 
Why does this matter? It matters because it can drag YOU backward. It can dredge up and activate negative attitudes you've been working to release.
 
We are in a time of great change as humans. The key to permanent change is to recognize you cannot hold onto the past. Release it in whatever form it takes. It may be represented through:
  • hoarding of things to keep the past safe
  • attachment to memories of past efforts to reach goals that failed
  • attachment to an image you have of yourself based on experiences and what you believe are others' ideas of you
  • constant stirring up of old fears that emerged from the past.
 
Can you see how ALL these things have a vibration or a feeling attached to them that holds you in the past? How can you expect to move into a NEW way of thinking, feeling and responding if you refuse to shed the OLD?
 
It's not possible for the same reason you can't put new wine into old wineskins. If you truly desire change in your life, then you are saying you want to let go of the old understanding and the old relationship you had with life. You want to vibrate or interact with life at a higher level. You want to see greater possibilities and reach for your highest potential.
 
You cannot do this except by looking forward. You can continue to metaphorically look over your shoulder by hanging onto the past out of fear of losing who you are, but you won't have the strength to move forward. Why? Because your baggage will be too heavy for you to carry!

Humanity worldwide is currently engaged in a great struggle between holding onto the past and moving forward. It's apparent in many ways, and especially in politics. Fear of the unknown in new ways and things holds us back. Thank you for this insightful article, Dannye.

    I have been studying the human psyche and its wonderful and often frustrating journey for over four decades. It was only natural that my love of writing and teaching became part of this journey. 

    My writings are dedicated to those who are willing to search  outside the box for meaning in their lives, who are willing to shift their view of the world just enough to recognize they are unique expressions, and who are willing to do the inner work to improve their understanding of who they are.

I will read forever because it lets me visit in my mind the worlds that I will never be able to see; it helps me put away the stresses of the day and relax into the rhythm of the story before me; it lets me bring to the surface and experience without regrets those feelings I hide away; it lets me re-experience the thrill of first love through someone else's eyes; it keeps my mind juiced so that it will never desert me; it is always there for me even when there's no one else. I will read forever no matter whether it is print or digital because the words will always call to me. ~ A Sassy Scribbler
