Made for Success Quote and Commentary

“Your past does not equal your future.” —Anthony Robbins

Chris’s Commentary:

One of the hardest things to overcome in our pursuit of attaining a better life is that we have it naturally ingrained in us to believe that our future will simply be a continuation of our past. This makes our lives almost self-fulfilling prophecies in both the good and the bad. If we have had past failure, we tend to expect future failure. If we have past success, it breeds an outlook that looks for success. The key here is that when you have experienced failure, you must break the cycle that comes naturally. Just because your past was a certain way does not mean it has to be the same in the future! If we don’t purposefully break that thought pattern, your future will most likely will be the same, though. Understand this: Your future can be as bright as you desire it to be! You can become more successful! You can have better relationships! You can break the cycle of failure! Your future does not have to become a continuation of your past!

Action Point:

Sit down and think of your past in general. Is it one of failure? Then choose to break that pattern. Begin to read good books and listen to materials that will help you break that pattern. Begin to associate with people who will lift you up to higher ground. Take control of your life so that your future becomes what you want it to be, not what your past has been! Begin to look at each new day as an opportunity to succeed!
