There is an old experession that says, "stop beating a dead horse." It refers to continuing to complain about, or get some life from, a situation that is no longer in existence or trying to convince someone who has no chance (especially due to outright refusal) of being convinced. An example would be trying to convince a true person of faith that God doesn't exist or trying to convince an atheist that He does exist. Either is fully convinced already in his/her beliefs and will not be swayed, for in his/her mind it is already settled.

My message of the day, then, is to stop beating the dead horse in your life! No matter how much you continue to beat that dead horse, it is not going to come back to life; it is not going to be resurrected. There may have been some failed (or never sprouted) businesses that you wanted to start, an old career path that never took off, an old dream that has shown that it was not worth pursuing, an old relationship that was never meant to be more than just friends, an old and futile argument with a family member that still keeps "bad blood" between you, or a number of other things.

Instead of continuing to keep pressing that same issue, move on and embrace the new and better things that life has to offer. If you, literally, had a dead horse, the only way you'd get any NEW life out of it would be to discard it and repurpose it's remains. You could bury it and then new life would come from its decomposition creating fertilizer for the LIFE of new plants/grass to sprout. You could have it, and sorry for the graphic but true example, ground up and turned into dog food to give LIFE to someone's pet. Either way, the only way that it would now give new life is by discarding and repurposing the remains.

Whatever the dead situation may have been in your life, the one that you keep trying to argue and fight for with no avail, needs to be discarded. Stop fighting for that which shall result in no more life or value! Discard it, and repurpose the remains! Let it go and use the remains (the lessons learned) to give new life to the new ventures/relationships/opportunities that avail themselves. I encourage you... stop beating the dead horses in your life! Start living renewed!!!
