What’s So Positive About A Negative Past?
Thursday, December 11th, 2008The last post talked about reconciling the negative things in your past to allow for growth and wealth creation. That’s a tough thing for some people to accept, because it is really hard to commit to going back and digging up past experiences that seem better left untouched. Overcoming those experiences once and for all, and capitalizing on the unleashed positive power that lies within them, is essential to forward movement and growth—to success and financial prosperity. As long as those emotions are left to degrade your success, they will continue to eat away at it and either keep you from wealth altogether or limit your potential success, and consequently, your wealth.
But What Could Possibly Be Good About A Bad Past Experience?
Even given this knowledge, and understanding the basic concept behind it, people are reluctant to take hold of it and relive the past—even at the return of enjoying a hugely prosperous future. They just can’t figure what possible good could come from something that was perhaps painful, trying, and emotionally, and often financially, draining.
There are many good and positive things that can come out of reconciling past experiences. It might be a financial lesson learned, it might be revealing a person or negative force in your life for what it really was, or it might be just knowing that you had the personal strength and fortitude to overcome; it might even be the realization that you needed a change to get the most from life—an awakening as to your current state, and the state of your future if you did nothing about it.
In fact, every single negative thing that ever happened to you had something positive related to it. It is that positivity that you are trying to recapture—not the negativity, that we are letting go. At the time of whatever it was that occurred most people cannot see the positive that came out of it. That is why we have to go back and figure out what it was. Because when you see that you were rewarded for surviving that negative experience, you can value it as a lesson learned, or a character built, and you can know that even the worst things in life contributed to the wonderful, outstanding, successful person that you know you are today!
