It is through the small things we do that we learn, not the big things

Stop living in the past

Despite all that you experienced in your life, all the success you've had, all the misfortunes that have hit you again and again, one thing you can be sure of is you can't change events and past results. It is quite unnecessary to return indefinitely on these events and wonder what you could have done differently to avoid some problems because you cannot change the past.

Be aware that living in the past is the best way to kill yourself slowly. Nostalgia is not a good feeling to regain energy and feel good. When we go back in the past, we tend to remember bad decisions and forget that most of our decisions were made based on the knowledge we had at that time and of course the emotion and desire moment that always takes precedence over logic.

I'm not saying this is not pleasant to remember the good times, but I sincerely believe that this is as far as he must go in the past. The present and future are far more interesting and much more energizing and exciting than the past. Moreover, the future should be seen as a party every day. Why? Given that the future always reserves surprises and like most people like surprises, so we should always consider the future as a party.

You believe that this approach is too simplistic? If you never tried to always live according to what you can achieve as a project for the future, to dream and concoct plans for successful projects, always consider failures as steps, you miss the most interesting and exciting part of the life.

Living is an adventure and adventures are sequences of events and surprises that require us to excel and to use our talents, our knowledge and imagination, as so aptly Albert Einsten, genius is nothing other than to let his imagination limitless. Be original that is to say, dare to indulge your imagination to address the events of your life with energy and creativity.

Be assured that you will live more intensely and you will be directed towards the future, your mind and your imagination will be used to make the most interesting and productive thing than you've ever done. You will be amazed at the energy produced by the dreams and drop the thoughts oriented toward the past.

I am well-aware of the daily repetitive obligations which are often too stultifying, but be aware that these obligations do not monopolize all your days and that each day you have enough free time to act like a (e) adventurer (e).
