Day 255 of wisdom
“One cannot and must not try to erase the past merely because it does not fit the present.”
Golda Meir
Though the future is bright and loaded with lots of goodies for us, and we are shaping our today to fit our plans, our yesterday has so far produced who we are today, and brought us this far on our journey to the future. We must therefore make no attempt to detach ourselves from our yesterday, or erase our past irrespective of how terrible it might have been. Sometimes we are not proud of our past actions, we might have taken those actions in haste, from a naive mind, out of ignorance, or even intentionally, and we are therefore not proud of such actions, we must yet take responsibility for those actions for they have become part of us, and our journey.
Nonetheless, we must not continue to nurse the wounds caused by our terrible past, we must seek to move past every hurt, and limitations it is imposing upon us, we must see it as past and not allow it determine our now, or even affect our future. We must not forget the lessons learnt, because every thing that happens to us teaches us a special lesson. If you sincerely take responsibility for your past, and your present, you will be able to create your own desired future, you will be confident enough to take necessary actions to shape the future you want to create.
The key to true happiness is to accept responsibility for your actions, be accountable for your results, and take ownership of your mistakes. By doing this, you allow yourself determine what you get from every situation that comes your way, and not allow the situation determine what happens to you. You are what you say you are not what others, or your situation say you are.
If you want a future free of regrets, think deeply, think twice before you take any action, before you utter any words. Weigh your thoughts, your words, and your actions before making it public, never do or say anything in haste. You will always reap the rewards of whatever you do, or say, you will always be remembered for what you do, and say to others. At the end of the day when you will remember what you gave others, what you said to others, and what you did to others, will you say you have lived the life you wanted, or you have lived just an ordinary life. Take charge of your tomorrow, by owning your yesterday.
