Let go of the past

My take from today. We all have fears. Identifying our worse fears provide an insight in our inner selves. But fears are very often just ego driven. We fear to lose face, recognition, acceptance….But even if those fears materialise (and let’s face it, in some cases they do) our life is still worth a lot more than any of these things. Failing at everything doesn’t really make us worthless. We just perceive that it does.
On the flipside, what we enjoy doing for the sake of doing it, even if no recognition, compensation or remuneration comes our way is probably what would be our calling.
Finding one’s calling can never be a failure.

My take from today: The past is a construct. It’s events that we re-interpret. Sometimes we are completely wrong, especially when we’re young. By the time we’re adults, we are bound to have made up a few stories about ourselves and others that are not accurate and that hold us down.

What’s my take away from today? Mmmmh… Well,I think I have quite simple needs….
I would be perfectly happy in an old shack as long as it’s sunny, I’ve got my music and writing gear and the only surrounding noise is the sound of the waves crashing against the shore… I’m not fussy :P

I found this mentor on the Interweb who struck a chord with me. I am following his programme to help uproot my past mental patterns and embrace the ones I want. I’ve had the programme for a while but didn’t focus enough or do the activities. Starting from today, I’m taking this seriously.

I’m near enough there… The best way to let go of the past is to stretch towards a future we want. You know, best defense is attack kind of thing. The more focused you are on your dreams and goals the less room there is for the past ;)

..picture an egg timer.The past is at the bottom.The future is at the top. The present is in the middle, where u can see the grains of sand passing through.thats where we live. We cant live in the past or in the future. We only have control over the present. So why drag the past into our present? The past is only in our head . Ok we can draw lessons from the past. But being paralized because of something that marred our past is a bit like drawing an imaginary bareer in the air with ones finger and declare that its impossible to go through it. You can do whatever you want to do in the present. U are free, in control if u choose to be. Liberating aint it? I must remember that

...keeps repeating itself. How do I expell this haunting ghost coming back in a different form each time? Vade retro Satanas!!!
