Let go of the past, see things differently

If you’re interested in trying something new, don’t let the fear of failure hold you back. Keep an open mind and realize that everyone falls down sometime. The important thing is if you decide to overcome your fears and try again.

If you’re in a rut, it can be tempting to continue down the same path. It’s easier that way, but it can also cause us to miss out on other satisfying things in life.

Other times it may be the self-satisfied feeling that we know everything we need to know that holds us back. We may find ourselves making unfair comparisons and suffering for it.

Why not try this experiment? Go up to a friend or family member and have a conversation with them, but in your mind, pretend that you are both strangers to each other. Really listen to them when they are talking. Consider what they have to say and don’t be surprised if you learn something new about them.

Sometimes we can be too sure of ourselves and block ourselves from learning new things. It can prevent us from seeing things or people clearly. Try to live in the moment and don’t let prejudices or past events cloud the present.

Here is another experiment. The next time you find yourself doing a task you’ve done many times before, try pretending you’re doing it for the first time. This can allow you to see things differently and change new methods.

Think of each moment as special with endless possibilities. Don’t forget to embrace the present instead of comparing it to what happened in the past or what you imagined it would be.

It’s amazing how life can change when we decide to approach people and events with an open mind. It allows us to broaden our horizons and frees us from the burden of our prejudices.
