Isn't that what it's all about? At home, in your office, etc.
I even thought about renaming this blog.
Does the past really matter at all? Why do we give it so much attention?
A guy goes on a date with a girl and they seem to hit it off, and at the end of the night he tells her he likes her and asks to see her again. He follows up by saying that they would need to move really slowly because he's getting over a bad breakup.
I don't get it.
What the hell does some other past relationship have to do with the new relationship they are starting? What makes that a factor? What does one thing in the past have to do with something that's now working its way into the future?
It doesn't make sense to me.
My friend Tyler Norton was explaining to me the other day how important it is to think about beating yesterday and to focus on improving a little bit each day.
He asked me "do you think if we could listen in to the conference rooms at Apple that they are talking about the iPhone 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7 or 8? You think they're taking a second look at the Walkman?
Probably not!
They are looking at the next version of the iPhone.
The improved version.
The smarter version.
The version that offers more value.
The better version.
And this, my friends, is what one must do with his or her own life - find the next version of yourself.
The past; for the most part, doesn't really count for much.
In my mind, the past only really matters if it helps you create the next version. The better version of yourself. The past is something you can learn from of course, but don't get stuck!
Many people make the same mistakes over and over again, but as many of you have read on this blog - it's all about "what's next?" or "what else?".
Stop thinking the past has so much power with the future. It only does because you let it.
It isn't about what happens to you, but what you do with what has happened to you that matters, and how you decide to let it affect you going forward.
Everything happens for a reason.
Live it, love it, and learn from it.

Song of the Day: "The One That Got Away" by Katy Perry
Being the winner of a multi-million dollar lottery certainly will be a life-changing event for almost every single lottery winner. My name is Mavis Wanczyk from Chicopee, Massachusetts, the famous PowerBall lottery winner of $758 million (£591m). I know many people would wonder how I had won the lottery. Would you believe me if I told you that I did it with spell casting? I met this famous spell caster known as Doctor Odunga and he was the one who did it for me. As shocking as it was to me, my famous comment to the press was “ I’m going to go and hide in my bed.” Never did I believe that Doctor Odunga made me wealthy overnight. If you want to have your chance of winning and becoming very wealthy just like me, contact Doctor Odunga at odungaspelltemple@gmail.com OR WHATS-APP HIM at +2348167159012 and you will be lucky. Thanks for reading and hope to see you at the top
I’m starting to realize this more and more each day. My brain has been asleep for a few years in a stagnant job. I have started classes to wake my brain up and start improving myself and my career. I’ve realized if I don’t do it for myself, noone will. The downfall of being a State employee is you are not often given any kind of opportunity to better yourself. YOU have to be the one to determine your success and future.
Love your blogs, thanks for keeping them going.
