Memories, Do They Help You Or Hinder You?

There are a few Mini Coupers running around but you don't often see them close up. They are certainly not as common here, as they were when I was growing up in New Zealand.

Yes, this little car brings back some memories. One in particular is rather funny. My Grandfather was over 6 foot tall and relatively broad boned. He was looking at cars with the idea of buying something economical on gas and of course the Minis were one vehicle he was looking at.

Only thing was there was not too much leg room even in the front and he got stuck! We all had a good laugh over that one. So of course any time I see a Mini a positive memory and emotion is trigger. I usually laugh :)

Why am I sharing this?

Memories can be a blessing to your present or a hindrance!

The question is, when you see something that triggers a memory, does it bring a positive emotion or a negative one?

Negative emotions will certainly hinder your present.
