Have you ever wished that things were just as they happened to be once upon a time? Are you in the habit of spending much of your day regretting your mistakes and failures of months or years gone by? You are not alone if your answer is yes.
Millions of people around the globe find themselves in your situation. I must confess that almost every one of us, myself included, would at one moment or the other, find ourselves trapped in this self-defeating habit.
Yes, the condition of constant nostalgia or regret about what went right or wrong in the past is like a trap. It can get you stuck in the present moment in such a way that you're rendered completely immobile, both mentally and physically. And you and I know that the moment we're unable to use our mind and our body to do what needs to be done is the moment we begin to suffer lack of achievement and retarded personal progress.
Let me show you two ways in which your inability to let go of the past is undermining your desire to see an improvement in your circumstances - be it career advancement, personal relationships or educational aspirations.
1. Wishing for the return of the good old days will only make you stagnate for the rest of your life.
The basic truth is that the good old days were good only when they were good. If the same conditions of ten years ago were to return to you today, you'd quickly realize how incompatible they are with the current situation.
One reason for this is that humankind and the world in which we live are constantly changing either for the worse or for the better. Our tastes, our desires, our technology and our worldview of today have moved on. So must you.
