You have to open the windows, permanently remove the marker from the books we leave in the middle and take pictures hanging on the wall that no longer make sense, let go of everything that was, that past that you no longer recognize in your present.
Try not to make such heavy changes and save everything in smaller bottles, which perform the same function, but without taking up so much unnecessary space that it becomes uncomfortable and uncomfortable, let all the past that bothers you disappear and be left alone what it is worth If it doesn’t, the new things that come will never know where to go.
- Imagine an immensity of beautiful flowers and gold particles in the midst of a windstorm seeking refuge in any ancient container.
- There are containers that are full of things so harmful or useless that there is no place to harbor all the good things that the storm brings.
- At least to be able to house a piece that gradually illuminates its contents.
- Don’t you think it’s time to start emptying them?.
If you have fond memories of your past, you may consider yourself lucky. Keep them all as precious treasures and only open them when your strength weakens, to gain strength from what you were and you can be again. If the memories you keep aren’t very good, if there are many difficult areas you don’t want to relive, so much the better!The best thing for you is coming.
Next, we read a narrative that clearly links and illustrates this idea: true wisdom is to turn everything we have learned from previous bad experiences into something useful and functional in our present, it is worth remembering that extreme pain situations test our resistance, but they also serve as a catalyst to be able to become aware of our strengths.
“A son complained to his mother about his life and the difficulty of things. It seemed that when I solved one problem, another one appeared quickly. His mother took him to the kitchen, there he filled three pots with water and put them on the fire. “He also brought carrots, eggs and coffee.
The son waited impatiently, wondering what his mother was doing, after twenty minutes the mother turned off the fire, he took out the carrots and put them in a bowl, pulled out the eggs and placed them on a plate, finally stretched out the coffee and poured it into a cup.
Looking at his son, he said, What do you see? Carrots, eggs and coffee, was his answer. The son humbly asked: what does all this mean, Mom, is it chemical, he explained: the three elements went through the same adversity: boiling water, but reacted differently according to their characteristics. The carrots softened, the inside of the eggs hardened and a shell formed around it, however, when the coffee reached its boiling point, it was able to release its best aroma.
Some people who have had serious illnesses or major traumas in their lives have forgotten all the pain and have been left with the best: resilience, that ability to be reborn that makes them strong and flexible, they know how to put new problems into perspective and turn into opportunities. They know that one day they could and are aware that they can do it again.
It is not good to carry a bottomless backpack, full of reproaches and stumbles of the past, it is necessary to give a little time to reflect for discomfort and pain, but also to learn, you have to open as much space as necessary for the rest of our lives. It is the difference between the sad past and the past that is transformed. Calm waters have never made a good sailor.
“Decaying men and people always remember where they come from; genius men and strong people just need to know where they’re going. -Joseph Engineers-
You don’t need to explain the past any more, you just need to respond to the responsibility your teaching projects in your future. It’s about friendships, loves, work, habits or afitions. Many psychologists are interested in a patient’s past history, not because it is relevant or because I condition what is happening now, but to understand if a person is doing everything they are doing in their life. the present to defend itself from the pain it carries.
On October 21, 1829, Thomas Edison lit his first lamp and remained on for more than 48 hours, probably a big difference from previous attempts. A curious fact is that the filament of this lamp was not metallic, but carbonated bamboo.
Subsequently, Edison continued to work on many tests until he got a lamp capable of delivering up to 1500 hours of light without melting. Don’t you think it’s a perfect metaphor for understanding where you are today?
You can also have many failed attempts on your back to be able to turn on the light on you. If you keep trying to turn on the light, while committing to replicate something that turns it off, even your best try won’t work. .
However, if, on the other hand, you know all the formulas you’ve used in the past that don’t work, it’s time to let them go. Stop using them, open the door for them to leave completely, and in the meantime a whirlwind of new things will enter this space that you left empty and responsive. Some things come from the dark, but they rarely shine there.
