Looking Back. Can be pretty nice. Remembering all those years behind us - All the nice moments & successess so far, comfort our self-esteem. Quite nicely. Good feelings arise. . Mmhhh. . But taking a trip down memory lane, we s u r e aswell do get slapped in the face - Severely. And quite often. . For several reasons - Losses we sufferd from, Grief that broke our heart, Regrets we cannot reverse.. . but interestingly- the good & the bad memories are often closely related to each other. . As with - example - The together times .. We remember a good joke somebody told us in the past. Then a weird emotion d a n c e begins : 1. we chuckle as if the joke just has been told right now. 2. we sigh because we realize - this moment is gone though. 3. we get sad about the fact that it will never come back - Probably just like the person who told us the joke.. 4. we pitty ourselves. Excellently. All the pretty sweet feelings get supressed by grief in the blink of an eye. Then 5. we might feel stupid and end our dance with regret, because maybe – It was all our fold. Or, everything that happened is on the joke-telling one – then 6. we propably end our dance with bitterness. . anyway. we suffer. due to an destructive attitude. . So..hm. why not end the dance like this – 'Whaam. What a good joke- still gets me laughing. How uniquely the person told it, that I once was so close to. I feel grateful for the moments we shared. I let go grief, because I learned, I healed, I prospered - No pain was for no reason. Thank you person for our path together.' . Let's realize, that the word P R E S E N T has 2 meanings. But actually only O N E - The moment we have in the present is T H E present life offers us. .OUR TIME IS (a) PRESENT. Every second. . Picture this- If the PRESENT was a car, our PAST would be the fuel that drives us and our FUTURE would be a navigtion system – on which we can always change directions, if we want to. . Let's understand our past as a powerful source we can scoop from. Anytime. Let's consider our future as a motivation to cherish the NOW even more. Let's make it a good ride. Let's love every bit of it. Radically. . •
