Many people are still shackled by what was experienced in the past. Because of that they cannot express their potential to the fullest, so they fail to become successful people. Sometimes the past is too painful or sometimes too pleasant, which makes it hard for us to forget it. It makes us tempted to look back, when we should continue to move and look forward.
Some things we can forget about the past include:
Failure. Never give up if you are currently experiencing or have recently experienced failure.
Sin and transgression. Many people feel unworthy to receive God in their lives, because they keep seeing past sins and transgressions.
Bitterness. Learn to forgive and forget those who have hurt us in the past.
And the most important thing to forget is success. Many people are quickly satisfied with the success they get, so they are lazy to step up, want to stay and embrace that success.
Forget what you have experienced in the past, both painful and pleasant, but make it a lesson and provision for your success towards the future. Make past experiences a motivator, not a barrier to future success.
