Inspirational Podcast Excerpt :Your ability to take a new hold on life depends upon your ability to break with the thoughts of the past and acquire a new outlook on the present and future. Taking a new hold, then, is simply a matter of gaining the right perspective of time. If the past continues to be something to you, then the unpleasant events of the past will continue to live. Their hold on you will prevent your taking a new hold on life. --------------------- Get our popular 3 books of Life Lessons in paperback and e-book on Amazon.
