What are you giving your attention to, your past or your future, your problem or the solution? I don't know about you but sometimes I feel like a dog chasing its tail. I sometimes go around and around chasing my past and my problem. Busy chasing things that I can never catch or change.

Anxiously putting time and energy into something that will never be positive or productive. And it most certainly will not bring about lasting change. I once heard Bishop Jakes say "Your past is not holding you. You are holding your past."

Once again I ask what are you giving your attention to? Race car drivers are taught to look away from the wall when they spin out control because they have a tendency to steer the car in the direction they are giving their attention to.

I am not saying that you should ignore your past. You should study your past not stay in it or chasing it. The victors in life are the ones who figure out what went wrong and take corrective action to make certain that it doesn't happen again. Otherwise just like the dog you will continue to chase your tail.

It doesn't matter what you've gone through in the past, it really doesn't matter how many setbacks you've suffered or who has hurt you. Today is new day you can stop chasing your tail. Make yourself a better person by moving in the direction of your divine vision.

Don't holdup your great future by dwelling on the pains in your past. Stop going around the same mountain, go northward to the promises of your dreams.
