There they are. The memories of years gone by. Much water has passed under the bridge by now, but still those thoughts linger. He did this. She did that. This happened over here, and that happened over there. If a person could go back, he or she would change it, but there is no passage. If those thoughts could be erased, freedom would reign, but there is no vanishing oil. That which is done is done, and that which has been affected has been affected. It's as if one is trapped by the past.
So, what is one to do? The haunting of the event remains each waking day. Trod after trod and reminder after reminder mark the path of the present and the future for the one who is trapped by the past. Not one day passes where those memories do not appear, and most of the emotions tied to them resurface like waves in the ocean at least for a moment. Is there no solution? Is there no getting free? Is there no one who really cares?
Carry the past. Put the past in a mental backpack or locker and carry it. It remains in the mind whether one chooses to carry it or not, however, the past's affect is now altered. Instead of a weight, it becomes a wing. Instead of obstruction, it becomes motivation. Instead of impediment, it becomes fuel. The present and future of a person's life becomes the past of tomorrow, so why not use those hard experiences as synergy for having great memories in the future? Those who find this path will live with zeal, and the past will push them to greater places than they ever would have experienced without it. Until tomorrow...Why Say More?
