LET GO OF MR. SHOULD HAVE HES HOLDING YOU BACK
Are you dragging the heavy chains of yesterday into your tomorrow?
Life is waiting for you each day and you have to prepare for each challenge along the way towards success. It's not simple, but it can be done. Welcome to my Common Sense Motivation episodes. I'm Chris Fantastic Powell. Let go of Mr Should have. He's holding you back. If you could go back in time, what would you do differently? Whose life do you wish you'd had? What opportunities do you wish you took? That investment, that relationship, that house, whatever it may be? Stop that line of thinking doesn't build your future. It buries it. It slows you down, it holds you in place. It hands the microphone over to a voice that has no power but somehow gets the loudest applause.
Speaker 1:I call him Mr Should have. He's smooth, he's convincing and in my book, going One-on-One with Life, he shows up as an anchor tied to too many people's lives. Mr Should have doesn't build, he blames. He doesn't move, he mourns. He doesn't help you heal, he helps you hesitate. He's always talking about what could have been, what you missed and who you used to be. And the worst part, he's perfect at hindsight, because looking back is easy, wishing is effortless, but action, ownership, living in now, that's where most people tap out.
Speaker 1:Let me tell you something the past doesn't exist anymore. You can't touch it, you can't hold it, you can't fix it. So why are you trying to live in it? Living in the presence is the hardest thing most people will ever do. They either stare in the rearview mirror of regret or they daydream into a foggy future, hoping it just magically works out. But let's break this down simple and real. A brick wall is built, one brick at a time, one single moment. You can't lay bricks for the past. You can't guess the blueprint of the future. You only have this moment, and if you spend today dragging the heavy chains of yesterday, you're going to damage tomorrow before it even shows up. So here's a challenge Cut the rope, release the anchor.
Speaker 1:Silence, mr Should have, let him talk all he wants, but don't you answer, because the truth is you're still here, you're still standing, you still got time and, the best part, you've got a choice. So stop asking what if I had? And start declaring what am I doing about it now? Today isn't just another day. It's a fresh weapon in your arsenal. Use it, fight for your future, build your legacy, because the only thing stronger than what you should have done is what you choose to do now. No more regrets. Let's go Make it happen.
