Do you use your past failures to fuel your feelings of defeat? Do you try to change your eating habits but secretly believe that you're never going to be able to change? Many of us are so caught up in the past that we couldn't possibly pave a new way into the future.
There is a story about two Buddhist monks that are walking through the forest. They come upon a woman who is struggling to cross a creek. One monk quietly picks her up and safely delivers her to the other side, then continues walking. Two hours later the other monk expresses his anger and confusion. You see, these monks have an order of chastity that prohibits them from touching women. "How could you have carried that woman?" The one monk exclaims. The other monk quietly replies, "Who has done the greater offense, I put her down hours ago but you are still carrying her." We do ourselves a great injustice by carrying these old beliefs about ourselves or carrying our past failures. How can you put your past down and really give yourself the chance at a fresh start? This can make all the difference.
