Jakes This video offers a gentle reflection on letting go of the past and shifting your focus toward the present moment and future possibilities. Blending themes of mindfulness, emotional healing, and mental well-being, it explores how much energy we spend revisiting what cannot be changed. You’ll be guided toward a calmer mindset, helping you move forward with clarity, awareness, and intention. A quiet pause for reflection, inner growth, and creating space from your past.

If you run after your destiny,

You will have no time fighting with your history.

If you run After your destiny,

You will have no time fighting with your history.

You know,

I was thinking about this,

That,

You know,

So much of our time goes in thinking about what did not work out in the past,

How things did not happen in the past.

She did not do that.

He did not do that.

That person did not meet my expectation.

This happened.

That happened.

You know,

Why did I fail the last time?

Why?

This did not happen and consistently our mind is churning,

Ruminating all those things of the past,

Specifically negative things.

Now you can think like this.

As much as you want,

But did you realize it is wasting so much of your precious,

Valuable time?

And you would agree that time once lost can never come back,

You know?

Rather than focusing on solution,

We are so focused on what did not work and our history,

Right?

We're thinking about our history that can never come back.

We can do nothing about it.

This is a solution for anybody.

Who wants to leave your history behind and create a new story for your journey ahead,

For your life ahead.

He further says,

Pick up your piece and run.

The more you run after your destiny,

The more distance you will have from your history.

Once again,

Pick up your pace and run.

The more you run after your destiny,

The more distance you'll have from your history.

So if you want to,

You know,

Get out of those negative thoughts of the past,

Of the history,

Of what did not work out and he said that and she said that and this and that and that which will not help you at all.

Pick up your pace.

Start running.

With speed towards something that excites you,

Towards your career,

Towards opportunities lying ahead of you,

Towards possibilities,

Towards solution that you want to find,

Towards things that you want to achieve,

Towards get busy.

This is what I've realized.

The more busier you are doing things that are important to you,

Doing things that can help you progress.

If you keep yourself busy doing things that can only help you elevate and move forward,

Amen.

The more you run towards those exciting things.

The lesser you will think of your past history.

But here is a good part.

You will distance yourself from your history because you moved so much.

Forward from your past.

And it is time for you not to look at your history,

But to create a new story.

I hope you found it helpful just like I did.

Signing off,

Bobby Disposa.

Bye-bye.
