Learning From The Past
You could be thinking about your past, which might put you in a solemn mood today. It may be that you wish things had turned out differently in your life or you harbor some regrets about decisions you have made. Changing the nature of your reminiscences to be positive rather than negative could help to remind you that although the past is something that is gone, everything you have chosen or experienced has been a wonderful chance to grow and learn more about yourself. Perhaps by looking at an incident that at first seems less than positive can make it easier to realize the beauty you have had in your life up until this point. While thinking about this particular experience, you might ask yourself what lessons you have learned that you are currently using in your life. You may notice that this event has brought you a little further on your path toward greater self-awareness and feel a deeper sense of delight about your past.
Reflecting on where our past has brought us lets us see that everything we have experienced teaches us a positive life lesson. At first it may seem difficult to acknowledge, but even the things that seem hurtful are really our best teachers. Once we realize this, we are able to let go of the hold the past has on us and instead embrace the wonder inherent in all of our experiences. By seeing your past as something that has positively impacted you, you will open up to the abundance that is your life today.
