Inspirational story: You are the child of God

Inspirational story: You are the child of God <br /> Getting rid of self-limitation is the highest state of motivation. I will tell you a story like this.
In 1920, a small girl was born in a small town in Tennessee, USA. Her mother only gave her a nickname, Jane. After Jane gradually became sensible, she found herself different from other children: she had no father. She is an illegitimate child. People obviously discriminate against her, and the little friends don't play with her. She doesn't know why. Although she is innocent, the secular is harsh.
Each of us can make multiple choices in our lifetime, but we cannot choose parents. Jane doesn't even know who her father is. She lives with her mother. After school, discrimination has not diminished. Teachers and classmates still look at her with such cold and contemptuous eyes: this is a child without a father, an uncultivated child, and a bad family.
As a result, she became more and more cowardly, began to close herself, escaped from reality, and did not touch people. What Jane is most afraid of is to go to the market in the town with her mother. She always feels that people are pointing at the back and whispering: "It is her, the child who has no father, no education!"
When Jane was thirteen years old, a pastor came to the town, and her life changed since then. She listened to the adults and said that the pastor is very good. She envied the other children very much on Sundays, and then followed her parents and walked into the church hand in hand. How many times she has been hiding in the distance, watching the people in the town come out of the church happily. She can only imagine what it is like in the church and what people are doing through the solemn bells of the church and the look of people's faces.
One day, she finally got the courage to wait for people to enter the church, sneak in and hide in the back row - the pastor is saying: "The past is not equal to the future. In the past, if you succeeded, it does not mean that the future will succeed; the past Failure does not mean that the future will fail. Because the past success or failure only represents the past, the future is determined by the present. What do you do now, what you choose, it determines what the future is! The failed person should not be discouraged and successful. Don't be proud of people. Success and failure are not the end result. It is just an event in the life process. Therefore, there will be no eternal success in this world, and no one who will never fail."
Jane was deeply shaken, and she felt a warm current impacting her indifferent, lonely heart. But she immediately reminded herself that she had to leave immediately, and when the classmates and adults did not find her, hurry. After listening to it for the first time, there will be a second, third, fourth, and fifth adventure - but every time I eavesdrop on a few words, it quickly disappears. Because she is weak, timid, and inferior, she thinks she is not qualified to enter the church. She is different from ordinary people.
Finally, Jane was fascinated and forgot the time until the church bell rang, and suddenly woke up, but it was too late. The people who left first blocked the way she fled quickly. She had to bow her head and follow the crowd and move slowly.
Suddenly, a hand rested on her shoulder, and she looked up at the arm in horror. It was the priest. "Who are you a child?" the priest asked softly. This sentence is the most feared of her for more than a decade. It seems to be a red soldering iron that stabs Jane's heart. People stopped walking, and hundreds of horrified eyes stared at Jane. The church was so quiet that the needles fell on the ground and were audible. Jane was completely shocked, she was at a loss, and her eyes were filled with tears.
At this time, the pastor raised a kind smile on his face and said, "Oh, I know, I know who you are - you are the child of God."
Then, the priest stroked Jane's hair and said, "All the people here are like the children of God! The past is not equal to the future. No matter how unfortunate you are in the past, it doesn't matter. What is important is that you must be full of the future. Expectations. Make decisions now and do what you want to do. Children, the most important thing in life is not where you come from, but where you are going. As long as you keep hope for the future, you will be full of strength now. In the past, it has already passed. As long as you adjust your mindset, clear your goals, and act optimistically and positively, then success is yours."
The pastor’s voice just fell, and the church suddenly burst into applause. No one said a word. Applause is understanding, apologizing, admitting, welcome! For thirteen years, the old age of depressing the soul has been melted by "Bo-ai"...
Jane finally couldn’t help but burst into tears. Since then, Jane has changed...
At the age of forty, Jane was appointed governor of Tennessee. After that, she abandoned politics and became the president of the company, one of the world's 500 largest companies, and became a famous and successful figure in the world. At the age of sixty-seven, she published her own memoir, "Climbing the Peak." On the title page of the book, she wrote this sentence: the past does not equal the future!

The concept that “the past is not equal to the future” requires us to look at ourselves with a developmental perspective and to see success. Success has nothing to do with the current situation. The past has passed, and the key is the future. The past has decided the present, but not the future. Only the current actions and choices can determine our future. This is a powerful weapon for you, for me, for him and for her.
