Poem by Omar Khayyam
The moving finger writes, and having written moves on.
Nor all thy piety nor all thy wit, can cancel half a line,
Nor all thy tears wash out one word of it.

Give Up Your Personal History

Most people have a tendency to live their life in the wake of past events by hanging on to their past histories to justify their self defeating behaviors. They will hang on to past pains, abuses, and shortcomings as calling cards to announce a "poor me" status to everyone they meet. I am sure just this moment someone like that has just popped into your head as you've finished reading this line. They will say things like,"I'm short", "I'm old", "I am an alcoholic", "I was abused", the list can go on and on for days.

Remember, your past is OVER!

When you bond with your past, you'll become immobilized today. And not only that, you will prevent yourself from healing. It can become easy to refer to the past struggles and use them for reasons for not getting on with your life today.

Also, many people refer to the "Good Ole Days" that are gone forever as a reason why they can't be happy and fulfilled today. This also is a way of assigning the responsibility to the past and making it a reason for why you can't be successful today. Learn to give up your past history!

When You Are At Peace

Did you ever noticed that when you are at peace with yourself you radiate a different type of energy then when you are stressed or depressed? The more peaceful you become, the more easier it is to deflect all the negative energy that you encounter. Its almost like having an invisible shield around you that nothing can penetrate unless it is a higher spiritual energy then your shield. When you greet hostile energy with a smile, you are letting it know that it is not your thing or style. A person who tries to bring you into their misery cannot do so without permission. If you practice meditation, it will keep you immune to negative energy.

Loving and Respecting Yourself

Become more loving towards yourself. When you do this, you will attract the kind of energy that is higher and begin to change what is inside you. With your thoughts you can cultivate your inner voice and attitude that's 100 per cent for you. Try to schedule a time in the day where the only thought is only supporting and loving you. Sooner or later you will gradually see this attitude extend to other people. You only need to do this a minute or so a day. You will begin to receive this energy back to you. Notice when you start to feel anger, hatred, guilt or ridicule and change that thought that very moment! If you are unable to change the thought, then at least love yourself for what did do-that is, for noticing.
