Wisdom From Your Past


We have already talked about the past, but I believe that the topic is among those worthy of further discussion. How do you feel about your own past? If you think that you made some mistakes (as probably everyone does), do you also believe that you could do something about them? What? you may ask. Well, there are two things that could be done. If it's something you can make amend for, or that you can change, go ahead and do what you have to do. Forgive or ask for forgiveness, compensate the recipient of your wrong,  forget the hurts, or change your previous choice. It's all possible, if you really want to. If there is nothing that can be done, do you think you could learn from your past mistakes, i.e. discern the faults in your decisions, in your behavior, that brought you to make the wrong choice? If you look at the world history, at the wars that never stop existing, at dictators, corrupted politicians, greedy business people who continue to plague our  world, you might be brought to believe that  past actions are destined to repeat themselves. Maybe they are. But you can break this vicious circle, at least as far as you are concerned. You have the power to learn from your past and make your life a better one, right now - while paving the way to a more fulfilling future -  if you trust yourself and believe you can.
