Drop it and Carry on

Just tonight I was talking to my close friends who are now married to each other. They were not a happily wedded couple who is into the third month of their marriage. After listening to both sides, I could easily figure out what was wrong, but they did not seem to realize what it was. I could sense it.

"Make peace with your past so it won't screw up the present" is one of the 45 life's lessons from Regina Bretts. Read them here. This one has got me thinking. Making our peace with things that have happened in the past whether your fault or not is of utmost importance or we keep spoiling the present.

We are a result of what has happened to us and what we choose or do not choose to do in life. Our comedy of errors shapes our life. You can never really cut that part out coz its still part of you. The most we can do is close the book and place it in the shelf where you cant see it. If we dont, it will just rise from ashes like the phoenix and meddles into the present. Keep the surroundings de-cluttered and you wont have a feeling of being lost. There is absolutely no space for past in the present. If the wheel of time has moved, give time to time. Move on and let bygones be bygones.

Getting past the past is what is needed at times. Do not carry extra baggage wherever you go like an overstuffed VIP suitcase. Do not be overburdened by something you do not need or isnt useful. Do not be tied down to something that makes the walk of life difficult. Untie those shoes and leave them behind. And Keep Walking.

Forgive and Forget. Travel light. Enjoy the journey called life.
