If you really want to change the quality of peace you’re feeling in your present moment, immediately… This is the episode for you today!

Welcome to The Mindset Mentor Podcast, where today I’m going to help you understand why (and how) you can stop living in the past mentally, and teach you the why (and how) you can start “living” in the future, so that you can immediately start creating better outcomes for yourself right away.

There’s a really good Alan Watts quote that comes to mind:

“If you’re on a boat, and you look behind you, what do you see? You’ll see the wake behind you. The wake is just what shows you where you’ve been… BUT the wake of the boat does not steer the boat at all. It simply shows you where you’ve been.”

A lot of people live in the past, and they do it so that they can try and make a prediction of what the future will look like. If this sounds interesting to you, then I’m going to assume that you are probably one of the people who have found themselves doing exactly this. Why are you thinking that way? Here’s what I believe…

If you’re living in your past, so that you can predict your future… then you’re probably somebody who simply doesn’t want their future to end up looking like their past.

But if you don’t make a change, and make one immediately… then your tomorrows are going to surely look like your yesterdays and even your todays. It’s time to break the cycle!
