Mike Murdock Quotes

When the wrong people leave your life, the right things start to happen.

We all carry our past. But it is a case of getting on with your life and improving it, if you want to.

It's often said that you're the product of the five people you spend the most time with. If you allow even one of those five people to be toxic, you'll soon find out how capable he or she is of holding you back.

I had people in my life who were insane and negative, but they taught me how not to be, how I didn't want to end up.

Never be afraid to let people go if they're not right; often that's the only way you can make room for the right person.

I think it's a very healthy thing to learn from what's happened in the past. But only if you look at what happened and think, 'How could I have dealt with that differently?' Then let it go.

I just don't want to live like I used to. And at some point, I'm going to put a gag order on myself in terms of talking about the past. I've got to slam the door and deal with the present and the future.

You will always move toward anyone who increases you and away from anyone who makes you less.

In your 40s, you shed those who bring you down and surround yourself with the most positive people you know.

If there is someone in your life who is not serving you or making you better, give yourself permission to move on.

I believe everything negative that happens in your life is for a positive reason. If your heart breaks, you know that you are a human being and it happens. But you can't mope over it. There's only one life. You better get on ahead and fast. Fast enough not to let your past ever catch up with you.

Don't be so hard on yourself. Be a little harder on yourself. Learn from your experiences. Don't dwell on things. Get on with your life.

I still have sadness and complicated feelings about my divorce. But how beneficial is it to keep hanging onto those feelings? If someone lives through an accident, his aim is to become better and healthy. My aim is always to progress - to make better decisions and be a better father, a better boyfriend, a better husband if it happens again.

I think that people should never be ashamed of wanting to move on with their lives and move on from their partners. I have a lot of girlfriends who were married in their early 20s and are now divorced because they basically grew apart - they evolved into another person in their 30s.

I can't dwell on past mistakes.

Being reminded of your past doesn't mean that you have to live with constant grief. It simply means that you have been given the opportunity to transform your past into something positive.

I've always been taught that life is a series of chapters, and it's all about moving forward and not carrying around baggage.

Learning from our mistakes is critical for improving, but even I don't have patience for ranking my regrets. Regret is a negative emotion that inhibits the optimism required to take on new challenges. You risk living in an alternative universe, where if only you had done this or that differently, things would be better. That's a poor substitute for making your actual life better, or improving the lives of others. Regret briefly, analyze and understand, and then move on, improving the only life you have.

Getting to the next level always requires ending something, leaving it behind, and moving on. Growth demands that we move on. Without the ability to end things, people stay stuck, never becoming who they are meant to be, never accomplishing all that their talents and abilities should afford them.

Too many people live too much in the past. The past must be a springboard, not a sofa.

Don't waste another moment crying over what went wrong! If it wasn't a blessing - it was a lesson.

We're never gonna move forward if we can't let go of things, especially things that don't happen to people today.

The best way to get even with anyone is to put them in the rearview mirror on your way to something better.

I have definitely been in experiences where my girlfriends have outgrown me and that's ok and I think that I should be inspired by that to know that it's time to move on - it's time to evolve as well and I think that should be inspirational to other people. They shouldn't feel stifled and feel like oh we can't grow up, we can't move on - change is a good thing.

Yesterday ended last night. Every day is a new beginning. Learn the skill of forgetting. And move on.
