Your Past Doesn’t Dictate Your Future - (Leave The Past Behind So You Can Focus On Your Future)

Author: MAKARAND UTPAT September 27, 2021 Duration: 16:14

In this episode, we have Makarand Utpat, an award-winning book author, speaker, business advisor, and social entrepreneur. His expertise in different topics such as digital marketing and personal development is sought out by others who wanted to turn around crises or conflicts into opportunities. Today, Makarand shares how your past doesn't dictate your future.

Circumstances

[1:00]

A circumstance is beyond your grasp, something that you can't get a hold of something that isn't changeable. However, your decisions are something over which you have power. And as part of that, one thought that came to mind was that the experience should not determine the future.

Your past doesn't dictate the future.

[3:51]

We also speculate that your life today would have been different if I had done such things in my past life.

[6:03]

We want to build a sympathy zone around ourselves. When we're making the sympathy zone, it helps us not perform, right? We owe ourselves permission not to excel. And, surprisingly, there was one film with a powerful message.

Dwelling in the past

[10:24]

You can't change what's going to happen in the future if you keep thinking about how it should have been different. So, the sooner you decide to break free from your experience, the sooner you can feel better. The best way to get away from experience is to take massive steps regarding what you want to do.

Do not focus on outcomes.

[13:43]

Do not always keep an eye on the consequences. Learn to appreciate the process, just like you can learn to love the trip because the more you start enjoying the ride, the more you'll be able to enjoy the fruits of your work, and the consequences can arise as a byproduct of what you're doing today.
