Let Go, Dammitt!! With 2 T's!

First, let me apology for last week's blog!! I personally feel it was below the unbelievably high standards that I have set here!!! I just kind of winged it more than put any actual effort into it and, to you, the reader, my friend, I'm sorry. I always said that if you have nothing of substance to bring to the conversation, dont bring it. Whew, I feel better wasting a minute of your time with my sorrow!! This week (You lucky sonuvab%tch!! You get back to back weekly blogs!! Pat yourself on the back!), I do want to talk about something with a liiiitle bit of substance. Its about letting go. Lemme ask you, imaginary reader and friend of mine (that being said, I need to get a life ASAP) an open ended question? How can you move forward if you keep looking backward? If you ever watch a marathon, you'll see a runner in the lead of a race look back to see if there are any other runners behind them. That look-back (new word invented) will cause the runner to slow down slightly. If it's a big lead, its no big deal. But if it's a close race, it could lead to a runner catching up to the leader. Then the runner behind will catch up, look back at them and Jello Pudding and Reindeer on a Roof and....this long-a$$ analogy will just keep getting longer and more ridiculous if I let it!!! What I'm trying to say is looking back and letting the past hold you down will ALWAYS slow down your progression into the future. There comes a point in your life where you have to learn to let go of the past, no matter how much it hurts you to. You can't change what has happened but you can allow it to help mold your future, both positively and negatively. Carrying around pain from what people have said or done to you will stress you out to the point that you a) Make yourself sick from it, b) Hamper your ability to meet new people and make new connections, and c) Render you unable to formulate a new future for yourself. Even if you are still stuck in that environment, make it your life's goal to craft and create a new you. When you sense those demons creeping into your mind, take a walk to clear your head. Write down constructive goals. Become ambitious. Drop an elbow on your sister from the top rope (Oh, sorry that slipped out!!). Do whatever it takes to mold a future, not continue to live in the past. Take the positive energy that you have received in life and let that help you move forward. Let that pain go!! Word Up Son!!! I always say to myself "This will be a quick blog!!" A research paper later, I think "Wow! I still have more to write!!" If you have an issue, text me, inbox me, and Ill give you an outlet to vent! As long as it helps you move forward, I am here to help!! Now I will not get your cat out of a tree or loan you $12. But I'm here for all my folks!! OUT!!! https://www.facebook.com/#!/john.w.coston www.twitter.com/thefakejcoston www.massiveinternetradio.com
