Sometimes it’s too easy to dwell on our past mistakes or regrets, but if we do that–if we continue to look behind us–we won’t see the wonderful opportunities that await us or our potential. If we look forward and focus on the things we can control, we will be happier, have a healthier attitude, and be more likely to accomplish our goals.

Sometimes I think we hold ourselves back from being better or achieving our goals. However, if we truly believe we can run the race, write the novel, lose the weight, etc.–and make a plan and take the necessary steps to complete that task–we will do it. Not only that, but we will do it well.

We all have the potential to be great, but we must dig deep and find out who we really are. Sometimes it’s easy to get caught up in the past and even the present, but we must forge ahead with our goals that almost seem impossible–until we are on the other end of them, looking back to see how far we’ve come. And then we must again forge forward with a new challenge in sight and new determination to unlock another piece of our greatness.
