The past is behind you whether it was good or bad. However the question for today is: are you allowing your past to take over your present?
Is your past still a part of your present?
You cannot change your past. However you CAN change your present and your future.
Some of your memories may not be easy ones.
We have all gone through difficult circumstances.
You may have experienced:
- a disillusionment, a disappointment or even a betrayal
- an accident, sickness or even tragedy
- a failure in a business, in a relationship or in some other area of your life
How Your Past Affects Your Present
Everything that you go through in life is processed by your mind. You come to a conclusion based on what you ALLOW your mind to decide.
- Your decision may be influenced by the emotions you experience at the time of the incident. These conclusions may well be negative or impulsive depending on the emotions you experience. The judgment you make will be an emotional one.
- Your decision may be influenced by logic.
- Your decision may be influenced by your moral and faith standards (this is the best decision).
This conclusion is stored into your subconscious mind to become a part of your belief system. Your belief system is the filter that influences the processing of all future information.
Negative Decisions:
Now, let’s suppose that you made a negative judgment based on a past experience. This probably created a negative filter in your mind.
You may have decided you will never trust again (rather a drastic conclusion, but many of us go through this one). This is your way of resolving never to allow yourself to be hurt again. This decision is going to drastically affect your present and future relationships.
Positive Decisions:
If your belief system was faith based and positive at the time of the negative experience you may well have been able to decide to forgive, release the people involved and move on.
The resulting information that was sent to your subconscious mind or belief system will free you to allow future relationships to be positive ones.
If you find yourself being held back by your past, go back to that memory and release it. Forgive the people involved. Set yourself free to live in the present as you plan and work towards a glorious future.
I am certain that you have a great future ahead because:
There are many areas of your past that can affect your present and future according to the decisions you have made. I will explore more of these in future writings, but I need your help.
I am sure you have a LOT to share. There is so much we can learn from each other. Please share your experiences, comments and questions below.
