PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE
"The past cannot be changed. The future is yet in your power." Unknown
We don't have the power to change our past. However, we do have the power to accept our past. When we accept our past, we're no longer controlled by forces of our past. We just have to put our past in perspective and learn from it. The more we accept our past, the more we become present. We need to be present so we can live our lives to feel alive again.
Being present give us an opportunity to learn and do new things in our lives to rediscover what life is about. This is how we create new meanings in our life. Being present helps us to see the hope in our future and the world's future because of what we do today, and this will certainly help our future. The learning gets from the past can certainly help guide us through our unforeseen future.
We gain our power back when we're living in the present. This is because our attention is no longer divided between what happened in the past and the uncertainties of the future.
Our attention is what we can do right now, today to make our lives better and meaningful. That's where we can find contentment, satisfaction and experience life's rewards. We all have experienced unpleasant events in our past, but we also have experienced pleasant events. Let us not forget that.
