Participating in the drama of life

From now on, I shall relegate the past to the past and consign it to the past only to drawn upon when in doubt and in need of inspiration. I shall now peer into the future with a new clear vision.

The burden of the past weighs heavily upon the mind no matter what the experts say. The past consists of both the good and the bad BUT yet we only tend to recall the negative and gloss over the positive. That's being human after all.

The unfortunate effect is that this dwelling on the negative spoils one's attitude and as attitude is the primary motivator to future action, the future is as a consequence invariably spoiled. After viewing the past negatively self doubt and self hesitancy occurs causing one to doubt oneself in almost every aspect. Ultimately there is less enthusiasm in life, and the courage to create newness or face challenges lessens. Even summoning the courage seems to be lacking.

Looking back at the past is a bad habit and everyone struggles to get rid of their die-hard bad habits. Whilst we look at others enviously when they manage to get rid of their die hard bad habit, we should not get upset; instead we should look at ourselves to see how successful we are in getting rid of our own bad habits.

We should extend mental and moral support to help them overcome their weaknesses. We must be patient, flexible and have a molding nature. Recalling the past is also largely habitual. there has to be the aim to break that habit. To take each day as if it is a new life with new possibilities.

Wisdom gives the understanding that life does not function haphazardly. It teaches that everything that happens in the theater of life has deep meaning and significance.

What happened in the past should empower us to make better decisions with the passage of time. We can never change it and we can never relive it. The power of the past is to learn form our past mistakes and to move on to a brighter future.

When I recognize the importance of time, I will know how important life is. I would understand the fact that each moment offers something more significant than what is apparent. This perception enables me to make the best use of the present moment, finishing carelessness and bringing alertness.
