Welcome to The Daily Quote - a podcast designed to kickstart your day in a positive way. I'm your host, Andrew McGivern, and today is July 20th.
Today, we’re celebrating Toss Away the “Could Haves” and “Should Haves” Day. It’s a day dedicated to letting go of regrets and focusing on the present and future. It’s about freeing yourself from the shackles of the past and embracing the limitless possibilities ahead.
In the spirit of this liberating day, let’s turn to a quote from the motivational speaker and life coach, Tony Robbins:
“The past does not equal the future.”
This powerful statement reminds you that your past mistakes, missed opportunities, and regrets do not define who you are or what you can achieve moving forward. It's easy to get bogged down by thoughts of what you could have done differently or what you should have achieved by now. But today, let’s toss those burdens aside.
Imagine if you carried all the weight of your past decisions in a backpack. By now, that backpack would be bursting at the seams, making every step forward a grueling effort. Today, take a moment to unzip that backpack, take out each “could have” and “should have,” and toss them away. Feel the lightness in your step, the newfound freedom in your heart.
By letting go of these regrets, you open yourself up to new possibilities and opportunities. You can start making decisions based on where you want to go, not where you’ve been. Think of it this way: if you drive a car, you don’t spend all your time looking in the rearview mirror. If you did, you’d crash. Instead, you glance back occasionally, but your focus is on the road ahead. Your journey through life should be the same.
So today, embrace the clean slate in front of you. Recognize that you have the power to shape your future, starting now. Tony Robbins’ words are a reminder that your potential is not determined by your past. Each moment is an opportunity to create a new reality for yourself, one that’s not held back by yesterday’s missteps.
Thank you for joining me today on The Daily Quote. I hope you find the courage to toss away those “could haves” and “should haves” and step boldly into your future. Remember, the past is just a story you tell yourself; the future is a story you’re yet to write.
Until next time, I’m Andrew McGivern. Have a wonderful day, and keep moving forward.
