Visiting the Past
It is a poor idea to think of past or future in mornings or
afternoons, rather it is best to focus on the day at hand and make the most of
it. The morning or day hours of a holiday may be used to make plans for future,
at times, and that should be enough as regards the future is concerned. There
is no need to think of it daily. Tomorrow will take care of itself when it
comes.
The time to think of the day gone by as also the past if one
wishes to is evenings. Our past has many important lessons for us and the
learning from our experiences is enhanced when we reflect on them. Today
morning a friend on twitter had posted a tweet – In the end we only regret the
chances we did not take – I reminded her that had she taken those chances there
might have been a pit at the end of it and she must thank the Lord for having
saved her from it. One must never regret the missing of any perceived chance
because one never knows how it would have turned out in its long term
implications. Everything turned out just the way it was supposed to and one
must be grateful for it.
As we evolve, we tend to realize with force the wrong
things, big or small we have done in our past. It is this we must focus on,
repent and resolve not to repeat them, ask the Lord for forgiveness and put up
sportingly with any adverse consequences because of them. If we can learn from
it then the purpose of adverse consequences would have been served otherwise they
may repeat. None but God is perfect and all make mistakes in their journey
through life. The goal is to reduce one’s weaknesses and strengthen the good
side.
There are also some that can look into their past and see no
wrong that they have done. If something bad has happened to them it must be the
Russians or someone but nothing to do with them. These are people who have
stopped to evolve and are sliding towards the bottomless pit. It is best for
them to reverse their course else deep suffering awaits them.
Just trust the Lord in all you do, striving to do the right
thing, and all shall be well.

Lovely post dear Ashok ji
ReplyDeleteThe choices we missed
Where we're depends upon
the choices we made in the past
to err is human and to correct it is wisdom
but the choices we missed
there's no harm in this
it may be better that we did
what's the guarantee that if we didn't
we would be happier not in misery
it's difficult to know what's better for us
when we need it the most
so whatever choice we make
let's be happy
and make the best out of it
with warm regards
