Emotions and feelings
What You Feel And Do Now In This Moment Will Be Your Past
Everyone has a past. That is a fact. But it is the way we look at what a past could be.
For me, it is not only the negative events that have happened in my life but the trip to Barcelona with my husband too. If I look back, there will be negative events in my life a lot. If I count, it will be a lot, but I try to be positive to continue for my children and my own future.
It can be yesterday’s meal, it is what you just wrote for you to assignment for school or work, the coffee you made this morning, the hug you gave your mom two weeks ago. It all belongs to your history, thus your past. Even the letters and the sentences you just read in this story is your past.
People don’t think about this when they think of their past. I think it is important to remember these beautiful moments too. They belong to us as well. Sometimes I realize that most of us don’t realize that. That is a shame, but I understand that too. I believe that when we have been through a lot, we even don’t can think about anything positive. I have been there too. But also realized that I always try to think positive and get positive emotions out of something bad happened. Do you get me? Sometimes I don’t get myself. That is a shame, because in life, with or without bad events happening in our lives, we could take positivity out of the negativity. How we should do that, I honestly don’t know, because, most of the time, I just do something.
Think about it for a while.
We only think about our past when (negative) things happen in our lives or the big events that happened, like weddings or abuse. That belongs to our past indeed, but don’t forget what you read, and how you did read it, what you ate and what it did to your body. It is being conscious about knowing what you have done in the past, to be a better person in the future.
Also, what you feel now, will be your past tomorrow. It’s the feeling that stays and you carry into the future. That’s what we remember the most. But what do we remember about the beautiful moments in ou lives? People barely think about the beautiful moments of life. Mostly we forget those moments because the negative events in life overshadow the positive moments.
I believe we have to enjoy the moment we are in at that time. To remember the good things too.
Have you thought about the little things that count in your life? I have done that a lot in my life. I try to be positive, even when negative things happen.
So, think about what you ate this morning. It is your past but thinks about the feeling it gave you.
