Holding On To The Past

Experience they say is the best teacher, but sometimes holding on too much to the actions of the past do us no good. It is as if we keep reliving the past and never really living in the present. It is alright to always remember the past in trying to do something but sticking too much to the past can inevitably keep us in the past.

Most times we do not want to try out things because we did them in the past and they did not work out. Okay, but have you considered doing that same thing another way? Or have you considered that you are now a better person than you were before and maybe you can do much better now? So many questions I want to ask you about that action you want to do but never give yourself the chance to try it out.

It is important to be cautious in life but never be too cautious that you never really live. So many times, I see opportunities that people do not take only because they had something like that in the past. If it is just about trying again, why not just try? Maybe you can be lucky this time. And in holding on to the experience of the past, most people decide to choose the bad experiences and continue reliving them.

You find people who do not want to love anymore because they have been hurt, you find people who would not go out of their way to help because they have been hurt. It is reasonable to do all that but have you ever considered what might happen if you never try again? The answer is obvious, you would remain where you are and never move forward in that area only because you hold onto the past. Life is never a bunch of mistakes, but a bunch of adventures we must always learn to enjoy. The story is not always fascinating, but looking at ourselves right now, we are exactly where are supposed to be.

It matters that we seek out things that make us better and run away from things that do harm us, but sometimes we simply just use the experience of yesterday to form the expressions of today. And that is not right. Give yourself the opportunity to try out new things even if it did not work out in the past.

And one other worst thing is to use the experience of others to judge how your life would be. Well, the other person did not get it, I might as well not get it. And so you give up on something that could have worked in your favour. Never ever go down this path because as humans, we all have different routes in life and one man’s path is another man’s blockade. So give yourself the opportunity to live everyday as a new day.

Thanks and God Bless.
