Let Go Of The Pastby John ColanziHave you ever walked by a low fence and wondered whythe dog inside will run to it, but won't jump over, nomatter how many times he runs to it barking and growling?The odds are the dog was placed inside the fence as apuppy. He grows up seeing that fence as being higherthan it is.He learned as a puppy that no matter how many times hetries to clear it, it's just too high.Over time he gradually tries less often, until eventually he quits trying. He just knows he'll neverclear that fence.The same thing happens to us over the years. We tryto reach a goal and fail. We muster up the courage to try again and fall justshort of the mark. Gradually that fence becomes higherin our minds, than it really is.It's a gradual insidious process and we seldom noticeit's happening. Over time that fence becomes moreimposing.Our efforts become a little less enthusiastic. We startbuilding fences in our mind and like that little puppywe begin to break.We begin a new goal with so many doubts. We just knowwe won't reach it, and so we don't.We start thinking to ourselves, I knew I couldn't doit. Our doubts become a self fulfilling prophecy.It doesn't have to be that way. Our failures aren't us. Our limitations are nothingmore than fences we've built in our minds.The cycle can be broken, if we could learn to stopthinking about our past failures and concentrate on thehere and now.There's a story about two monks walking in the woods.As they approach a small body of water, they notice ayoung woman afraid to cross the water.The older monk puts her on his shoulders and carries her across.When they reach the other side he sets her down andcontinues on his way.A little further along on their journey he turns to hisyounger companion and asks what's bothering him.The young monk says, "You've broken your vows by touching that young woman."The other monk replies,"Yes, but I let her go when Iwas finished helping her, you're still carrying heraround."Are you like the young monk, carrying around your mistakes of the past, or have you learned how to letgo and move on.Stop mistaking your past limitations for who you are.Let go and move on.Begin every task as if it were impossible to fail. You can, if you think you can.Wishing You Success,John Colanzi
