Have you ever knew someone stuck in the past? How about stuck in the present not giving one consideration to the future? I suppose we are all guilty of being stuck in one time phase especially the past. It bothers me a whole lot when I do something really stupid or hurt someone because of my actions. I tend to dwell on my past actions with contempt for myself. But, no matter how hard I try to relive the past to fix it, I cannot fix it. Is it not better to move on into a brighter future and correct the sins of the past by living a better present? What if you are satisfied with your present state? It is just as hard to move on to the future if you have a comfortable present state? Fear of the future holds a lot of us back so we just live our lives only in the present. The past is not a good place to live as it brings back good and bad memories that holds us from moving on with our lives. I think the present sometimes becomes our comfort zone and we can not get beyond its safe boundaries. I have heard it said that fear is on the fringes of that safe comfort zone. Success is beyond the fringes of fear. Look at it from a door opening into a new world with new adventures. There will be plenty of failures along the way but failure leads to success. Read Philippians 3:13-14 and reach out for a higher goal into a faith filled future then listen to my brief message on forgetting about the past and reaching out for a bright future.
