Never let where you come from, or who you are,

stop you from getting to where you want to go

or from being who you want to be.

So often I hear people say "My past is holding me back" or "What do you expect, this is who I am" These are some of the most limiting excuses that can be used to justify your failure to perform to your, or someone else's, expectations.

Firstly your past cannot hold you back, it is always you who won't let go. Your past is exactly that, your past. It is only you, by your constant reference to it, that keeps it alive. All too often I have met people who keep their past between them and their future. They complain that things never seem to work out for them, that life seems to be an endless repetition of the same old thing.

Secondly you are only who you think you are and you can change who you are merely by changing who you think you are. It is only your image of yourself and where you think you fit into the world that determines who you are.

There are people, who still today, use their upbringing, their childhood, the area they grew up in, the political situation and any other excuse that they can think of to justify their current performance, behaviour and position. How sad. By clinging to these feeble excuses they deny themselves the opportunity to grow. In any situation there are those who choose to complain and justify and there are those who choose to change and grow.

How many people do you know who grew up in exactly the same circumstances yet they chose to grow beyond the "limitations of their past" and break out of the mould that would have kept them locked into the behaviour patterns of their environment. They made a conscious decision to break out and live a life of their choosing and their making.

Realise this, to get to where you are now you had to make many changes. You are no longer the child you were, you are no longer in the situation that you were in, except in your imagination. Understand that in order to grow you have got to let go. You have got to let go of limiting beliefs and of feeble excuses that deny your potential and justify your failure.

Where is it that you would like to go? Who would you like to become? All to often the reason that things do not change is that we have not made a decision as to where we want to go or who we want to be. The future is given to us as a limitless set of possibilities. It is up to us to choose the future that we want and then to take the appropriate action that will make that desired future a current reality.

The question is not "Can you change?" but rather "Will you change?" and then "When will you change?" Remember that you are a three dimensional being. The person you were, the person you are, and the person you can become. All growth in your life depends on you focussing on the person you can become and then concentrating on changing the behaviour of the person you are to ensure that you become the person you want to be. So "Never let where you come from, or who you are, stop you from getting to where you want to go or from being who you want to be."
