In life we end up working, living and loving people that we end up not liking so much as time goes by. We let the past and other misjudgments get in our mind. We start seeing the present moment and the people in it with our eyes and mind set in the past or future. We let things start to get us down and discourage us; we expect people or events to make us happy.
I had a recent realization of this lately, yes I have heard all these ideas before and agreed strongly with them, but I never truly had learned until I encountered them. It is a pattern that occurs in many, if not everybody’s life, but if this is not broken we will keep going in circles. One person after another will let us down. One relationship after another will break our hearts. And one boss or job after another will leave us angry and vengeful. None of these things are needed and will only make us sick and our bodies greatly unhealthy if we don’t learn to move past them and forgive what happened in the past.
What lies ahead, and what we leave behind can only be “controlled” right now. We control it by forgetting the past and remembering it has no control now. And we control the future by making wise, empowered decisions with faith in this moment.
We cannot control others, only how we treat them. We can control our job by learning to like it and be grateful we have it or leaving it. We can control our life by trusting it and accepting what lies in or along the path.
