Well, today is going to be a busy one. I'm still going strong with my "How to Stop Worrying and Start Living" book, and I'm still learning! Here is one of the items I got from today's lessons:
Stop sawing the sawdust in your life. The question is: Can you saw sawdust or can you only saw a tree? Carnegie is shows that there is no point sawing the sawdust for it has already been sawed. The analogy applies to our daily lives, when we start regretting or focusing only on the past and trying to relive what has already happened. We are sawing sawdust everytime we get caught up in the frustrations or the disappointments of the past. There is no reason to try to live your life from your past. Take the information and the life lessons that the past has given you, and use them in your daily life today. But don't focus all your thoughts on the regrets and problems that you cannot change.
