IS YOUR PAST RUINING YOUR LIFE?
How women can heal from their past, and move on to a successful future
By Tori Vigil
Very often we live in our past allowing our past to control our present, and our future. I know with all my heart that every woman has a story to tell from her past that is interesting, unique, and like no one else's; an amazing story of strength and perseverance, of hope, and doubt, of good times and of struggles. Some stories are easy to tell, and others bare secrets we would much rather forget. One way to overcome our past is by telling our stories and freeing ourselves from the hold those secrets can have on us. Telling our stories can heal us, and can help others too. We were not meant to simply keep things bottled up inside. Every woman needs advice from time to time, and has advice to give as well. We could all use a little help finding out who we are, what we’re here for, how to make better choices, and what it is we we’re meant to do. How much easier would life be for all women if every woman shared her story, her wisdom, and her knowledge with others? Imagine if no one was afraid to say I made a mistake, and this is how you can avoid making the same one. If we had the courage to tell others where it is we came from and how we overcame the roadblocks in life. Truths should be passed from one woman to another, from one generation to the next; truths about finding true love, passion, faith, motherhood, and learning to trust ourselves. That’s why I became a speaker and host a weekly radio show. Another way to overcome our past is to write about it. I have been a writer ever since I learned how to write, as I was looking back at the things I had written in the past, I noticed a pattern: I write what I know, I write what I feel, I write to reflect on the things that have happened in my life. I write to promote my spiritual growth, I write to help others, and I write to heal. The process of writing something down, at least for me, is freeing; it lets out any negative energy, and allows me to see the situations in my life from a new perspective. If you learn from your writing, it also expands positive energy and promotes spiritual growth. I would have to say that my experiences with writing are very spiritual. It’s as if I step out of my problems, and hand everything over to God by writing things down. In doing so, I think that for a brief moment, God grants me the gift of seeing the words on the page through his eyes. From that divine perspective I’ve been able to take action; change what wasn’t working, appreciate what is working, be thankful for what I have been given, and wait in hopeful anticipation for the things I want and need. I’ve found that not only does writing help to heal myself, but it can and has helped others who have read what I have written; that is why I wrote my newest book “Outstanding Women Living Extraordinary Lives”. It’s my hope that in reading about my life, and the lives of the outstanding women I interviewed for the book who overcame some extreme traumas in their life, that you will be inspired let go of your past, and pursue your own God given destiny.
Another way to overcome the past is by changing your focus from past pain to future victory. You can overcome, and learn from what ever you may have experienced in your past, and use it to move onto a successful future. By pursuing your destiny you’ll have daily purpose, and a life lived with purpose is destined to be a successful one. There is no greater motivation than to love what you do, and do it because you love it; regardless of pay, status, or titles. Living with purpose makes getting up each morning a delight instead of a chore, as you look forward to the day and what might come to you at any moment. And what I’ve found is that in pursuing your purpose and being who you really are, money and success follow.
