Welcome back to another Mental StrengthTip!
Achieving personal success and reaching your personal goals begins with a mental strength mindset of empowering beliefs.
Reaching your personal goals and personal success starts in your mind…and finishes with taking inspired and massive action.
This is one in a series of virtual life coaching and mental strength tips to help kick-start your week. It is intended to enthuse and inspire you to take action so that you can reach your personal goals and personal success.
I take one mental strength tips and run though a brief overview of it, then ask some very direct questions. The intention of this virtual ‘life coaching’ session is for you to write the questions in your success journal and then reflect on them and write your answers and thoughts in your journal.
These series of posts are for YOU! If I’m not able to coach you personally one-on-one over the phone or in The 2nd Passage, I want you to at least get the benefit of a “virtual” mental strength coaching session.
Enjoy!
Objective of this Mental Strength Tip:

The main point here is help you understand that the same mental “weakness” energy you are investing in something out of your control can be used for develop your mental strength and move you closer to your personal goals and personal success.
Let’s Get Started:
Most average people spend too much time thinking about negative situations in the past. They keep re-running the event over and over in their minds thinking about how upset they are. This fixation keeps them stuck in the past and prevents them from living in the “now” and moving forwards towards their personal goals and personal success.

Mental Strength Coaching:
This is a very personal subject and the average person has developed a story and personal justification why they can’t and wont’ forgive.
The point of this virtual life coaching session is not to pry into your personal life, it’s to assist you in using your mental strength and redirect any energy being wasted on the past and use it to reach your personal goals and personal success.
As you go through this coaching session move slowly as you reflect on your thoughts, feelings and beliefs about the past and forgiveness.
This subject may take sometime for you grasp and understand, that does OK…take your time. The more you stay with it the easier it will become.
Final Thought
I encourage you to embrace forgiveness as a gift. This maybe one of only a few times someone has presented this subject to you.
This is a subject that many avoid, partially because they have not forgiveness themselves.
Few of us are taught anything about forgiveness and have no idea how mush mental energy is stuck inside of us just waiting to be released for our good.
