Thoughts: The Past

"Do not let your past make a mockery of your future."
-Muhammad, Chief Visionary, 21st Century Hustle



We all have outside forces commentating on all we do, but our most dangerous enemy is ourselves. For, the self knows our every fault, and weakness. It knows every time we've made a mistake, did something dumb, or became successful at something. Its that other voice in your head that's monitoring all we do vs. all we've done. It's the one saying "you can't...because you've never" and "remember the last time we tried that" or even worse "you can't... because you are beyond that."

These are limiters that determine how high you can go by the things you've have or haven't done. Kill'em shake'em off, whatever you have to do to get that up off you. When it comes up, acknowledge it, deal with it, learn from it, but ultimately figure out how to build on it and use that past to make it to the ultimate future. Make your failures, mistakes, successes, exs, family, neighborhood, schools, etc. all work for you. Its all money in the bank, now cash in on the interest.
