Tips, Tricks & Tools To Become A More Present Entrepreneur Who Stops Living In The Past…
What if your past worked FOR you, not against you?
I was serving in the U.S. Army when I got assigned to a leader that got under my skin. I was supposed to deploy but developed a heart condition that prevented me from leaving (3 days before deployment).
I wanted to go overseas with my brothers and sisters, who I trained with for over a year.
At that time, I was having difficulty coping with not deploying. My wife and I got to be together, but that meant we also had a long road to recovery with doctors appointments, uncertainty, and the concern that I might not live the same healthy life I enjoyed before this heart condition.
That situation made me feel guilty like I left my unit behind when they were counting on me.
Then I got assigned to another unit, where I knew no one. The leader I had was a micromanager, and I wanted nothing more than to be finished with my Army contract.
That is until I met with a counselor and had an insight…
I realized that everything that happens yesterday is history. When we went to sleep last night, that was it; that day will never happen again. Everything changed with this insight.
I recognized that I don’t serve others or myself if I let yesterday’s challenges follow me today.
The result of this thought is that I decided to give my attention to today, so I’m able to become a leader who is MORE than I was yesterday.
The challenges of yesterday get smaller as time passes, and we get bigger.
Even though I made that decision, I was still facing an issue…
I still had to deal with my tendency to live in the past and wish things were different.
What I ended up doing was creating systems to lead myself out of the past and into a more present state in my life and business.
That allowed us to grow closer as a family, add more quality to our time together, work less, and teach others how to take their lives back.
This thought meant we could now give other people leadership systems that they could use to grow their business while also expanding their relationships.
Ultimately, it meant we stopped living in the past and learned to use it as a tool to get what we want in the future.
Most importantly, I was able to stop dwelling on the things I couldn’t change, which meant anger and frustration instead became fulfillment and love. Now I live in a permanent state of happiness, gratitude, and excitement for our future.
Remember this from what we shared: You are the leader (The King/Queen) of your life. You get NOTHING from waking up today, holding onto problems that the “yesterday you” had.
