Life - Past Tense
There are many horrors in life. The worst one is the ghosts of our pasts. How much ever we claim to be over it or away from it, at tempting times we choose to remember our past and hang on to it.
In times of failure, the past becomes a remedy to sulk and choose depression over solutions. Sometimes to think we are great, we never let go our Past achievements. In this case we choose to remain in our past glory, rather than thinking of taking life further.
Thus life is a funny thing we choose our past in many occasions where we can actually keep it as a reference.
Our past is a file for our reference. Our glories and failures were the moments that we lived in. In the upcoming days things are different than earlier. Our mind needs to adopt a present and take it to the future. But then this is the difficult task...
How do we do this then?
It is simpler than we can think. A good reference would be to the mythological past of our country. When Arjun is aiming at the parrots eye, his teacher asks him what can he see, and he replies that all he could see was the eye of the bird and then after that his teacher tells to go ahead and shoot.
A simple extract but it means a lot. When we are aiming for something just focus on our task. Be with the task and not anything else. Our mind does play its tricks and tries to distract us by reminding of either our glories or failures. If our focus is strong and all that we see is the eye of the bird then we will be able to choose over the Past and be in the present. It is as simple as this.
The past plays its trick, but the mind can overcome this simple debacle by choosing to remain with the present task in hand.
We all have a past to live with. It was a result of choices we made at that point in time. In short today which will be a past tomorrow will be because of the choices we make today. Past is a good treasure and let it remain that way.
Let our choices determine what our future will be like. In short keep past for reference and not to corrupt the future.
