Nostalgia - 23/03/2007 - Past, Present & Future

Past, Present and Future

Past
Past actions have resulted in your present circumstance. We are what we sow, you don't plant an orange tree and expect a durian tree. So a reflection at your past actions would lead to answers in your present circumstance.

I remember when i was young and carefree, i had no baggage around, i started with no past or at least no memories from the past. That was when i smiled, played and lived life to the fullest.

But as your past grew the baggage compiles and seeps in to mold you into something other than the real you. Am i who i wanna be? Or am i lost in the baggage that i've compiled after years of living? Are you who you really are? Am i?

Our past teaches us that mistakes made should never be forgotten but instead learned. To forget a mistake is to repeat the past and to pay a price for something you've bought.

The reason i've repeated most mistakes was because i chose to forget the pain that was induced by those mistakes, that inadvertently causes a repetition of past mistakes as my body tries to forget the pain and together with it the lesson of the mistake.

Has our lives been a cycle of our past, have we remained the same? Are we running the "hamster's threadmill".

Present
Present, represents a fresh clean slate. A new piece of paper to write on. By learning from our past through our experiences and mistakes we learn what to draw and what not to draw on that piece of paper.

What we choose right now will inadvertently or advertently affect our future. What you choose to draw on that paper will have consequences and affects. Whether you choose to be conscious of those affects or runaway from that responsibility, the choices made will affect your future.

Our present state is the result of our past actions and our present actions is what our futures are made of.

Every single thing we choose to do, every single thought and influence we choose to subject our lifes to, will have a cause and an effect. We are what we make ourselves to be.

We own the choices to our actions irregardless of the influences, circumstances and actions of others. Whether you choose to give that right up or not remains that you first made the choice to take action in giving up responsibility. That choice was yours alone.

Dreams, Ideals and Goals are all built upon our present actions. Whether we strive in pursued of them through our actions or claim ignorance of such due to our fears and weak-mindedness is our very own choice.

Future
Are you satisfied with what you've been writting on the paper today? Does your writting represent the book you wannabe in the future? Your actions are your future and the choice to change your life starts with changes in your actions today.

May you live an overcoming life. God bless all of you. =)
