| Let It All Go You must set yourself free by forgiving yourself for every mistake that you have ever made. The truth is that in your heart you area thoroughly good person. Any mistake that you have ever made in the past was made because of youth, inexperience, and alack of knowledge or understanding. But it is now over and gone. Those are past events. Let them go, and get on with the rest of your life. As Helen Keller said, When you turn toward the sunshine, the shadows fall behind you.” Your main job in life, if you want to become a totally positive person, is to let the past go and turn toward the sunshine. Become a totally positive person. Think about the things that you want and need. Think about where you are going and what you can accomplish. Think about the extraordinary person you are and all that you can become. The Trip Clause I have worked with more than one million people on these ideas. Almost all of them agree that they are going to forgive, forget, and let go. However, at the same time, they plant within themselves the seeds of their own destruction. They say something like I hereby resolve to forgive everyone in my life who has ever hurt me for any reason. I set them free and let them go. (Except for that one person or that particular situation.)” All psychological, emotional, and psychosomatic problems can be traced back to the failure to let goof one negative event about which you are still angry and for which you cannot forgive. The New Mercedes-Benz Let me give you an example. Imagine that you order a brand-new Mercedes-Benz from the factory. It is delivered, perfect in every respect, except for one. Somehow, in the process of manufacturing the car, the engineers have accidentally installed the brake on one of your front wheels incorrectly. As a result, the brake locks and the wheel fails to turn. You get into your brand-new Mercedes-Benz and turn the ignition key. The engine starts, you shift into gear, and you step on the accelerator. What would happen Well, if one of your front brakes was locked, your beautiful car would simply go around in circles. You could turn the steering wheel and step on the gas, but the car would still go around in a circle, getting you nowhere. The more you stepped on the gas, the faster you would burnout your engine and your rear tires. Download 0.86 Mb. Share with your friends:
