Ep# 86: Is the Past Really the Past?

Dr. Kashey shows us why experiences of the past have a minority influence on what we choose to think and do now. Learning from the past is one thing, but repeatedly bringing up the past and using it as an excuse for poor choices in the present is detrimental to reaching our goals. Although it can feel like the past is a problem in the present, this is only because we sometimes use the past as a tool to create problems in the present. This can be avoided if we stop allowing events of the past to have an inflated influence on how we think and act in the present. We have the power to choose the right influences as well as refuse the wrong influences.
