We often focus on the mistakes we make in life and easily forget the right things. Our lives are full of good times that we forget when we look back and only look at the wrong things.
The truth is that remembering important moments or details that have marked our life is not an easy task, our memory works selectively, choosing which memories you want to keep and which ones you will end up forgetting.
- Memories are those images.
- Words.
- Smells.
- Sensations and emotions that we keep in our backpack.
- We can carry a very heavy load or.
- On the contrary.
- Light luggage.
- The bad thing is not to walk on a big load.
- The bad thing is to feel your weight.
We feel a great weight when we take memories of the heavy stones of guilt, sadness and failure, you feel a light weight when you know you carry all that weight, but you prefer to choose to feel good with the backpack you are in. The bad thing is not to carry a souvenir backpack, the bad thing is to always choose the heaviest weight.
We must consider our memory and spirit to be wonderful, but sometimes they can be traitors, our minds can betray us and recover distorted memories or remember them worse than they really were, and we also know that our emotional state influences the information we receive Recovering in our minds in a very remarkable way. If we feel bad, we don’t remember well.
“If I look in my memories for those who have left me a lasting flavor, if I take stock of the hours that were worthwhile, I always find those who have not given me a fortune.
-Antoine de Saint-Exupéry-
Knowing that our memory doesn’t always work the best way, the best thing we can do is to keep that in mind when we remember scenes that repeat several times and only hurt us, think about your memory and do a more objective analysis of your memories.
It’s also critical to keep in mind that in life not everything goes as you’d like, and that mistakes are part of learning, you’re who you are and you came here from what you’ve learned.
All these questions like :?What if I did?, what if I said ?, what if I hadn’t gone ?. They are possibilities, paths that we do not take for any reason, question ourselves, imagine alternative solutions and blame ourselves for not taking them harms our present.
Think about the path ahead and the memories you want to add to your life’s backpack. The journey only ends when we leave and the memory is only part of the trip. Walk straight; there are still memories to add to his biography.
“To be able to enjoy the memories of life is to live twice
-Marco Valerio Marcial-
We’re just drafts. Half sketches that we enhance with our experiences, thoughts and emotions that we associate with them. Don’t let your biography write with resentment. Building yourself is not an easy task. Attempts, bumps and falls are needed, but life is not an examination of a single correct answer. No one is born knowing how to live fully.
A good way to organize our biography is to express it, write it, paint it, sing it, touch it or even build it with our hands, artistic expression, whatever it is, is one of the best ways to express your biography.
To enjoy the good thing about life to face the bad things is to accept and accept what we have lived and this is the greatest gift we can give ourselves to reach the end of the road by being ourselves.
“Life is enough to justify me. And when I’m called to declare my actions, even if I hear an empty chair, my voice will be firm.
Not because of what death promises me, but for all that can’t be taken away from me?
-Luis García Montero-
