We must make a deliberate decision to forfeit the thoughts that hold us captive to the past, especially if it was painful. Letting go of those thoughts of past violations will free the mind of hurt, resentfulness, and revenge. I know, this is easier said than done; however if we truly want to enjoy life, we must overcome those obstacles as they will block our forward process. Freeing the mind will allow us to recapture the purest time in our lives and reseed it into the new soil, which are thoughts of “I can do, I will do, I am able.” These thoughts help us reach our full potential and take pleasure in the gift called the “Present.”
