Stop Looking Over Your Shoulder!

​Looking back can often bring up a series of regrets. Regrets are not a good thing because they take 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 that you have been working to release.
As humans, we are in a time of great change. Writers and entrepreneurs are in a time of great change also. The key to permanent and positive change is to recognize you cannot hold onto the past. Release it in whatever form it takes. Its form 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 which 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 and in your business, 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. If you continue looking over your shoulder metaphorically by hanging onto the past out of the fear of losing who you are, you won’t have the strength to move forward. Your baggage will be too heavy for you to carry. 
As a creative individual, you intuitively know all these things. You just need to stop looking over your shoulder.
