    there are two states .. running away from the past or moving forward to get something you want ..

    with goals that you are taking action on ..you know actions you can take now to get where you want to get.

    without goals people try and move away from what they don't want.. but get stuck in a cycle of fear waiting for the unwanted past to repeat itself .


    p.s it was probably just my youtube being buggy but i could only watch a minute of the video

    You will always remember the past and all the good and bad things that happened. But what is done is done, learn from your mistakes, make today count and be a changed person

    Past, hard to forget mistakes made but better to forget about mistakes made in the past and move on.

      I only got to 3 mins into it and my battery was fully charged..but you know what? When I need another Positive Energy Drink...I will come back and watch again and watch longer.

      Your delivery really made me smile you are like an instant buddy. hahahaha rare talent.

      The same can be said about our past positive accomplishments..we can not keep relying on them we have to let it go and focus on what we contribute this day.

      And the part about focusing on making someone elses day..superb.

      Very cool. Thanks for Sharing.

      Woooohoooo I made me a new buddy awesome. I feel good about making videos for reasons you just listed above.

      Inspire me to keep doing them

      Exactly my point. Don't let what happened yesterday create the type of person you want to become. Let what you do today create the person you want to become.

      Past life experiences and resulting belief system could control the life of people for the rest of the life. If you can shake it off, like you suggested in the video, that would be great.

      The good news is we are responsible for creating our belief system and we have the power to change or erase any belief system we create. With the help of good self improvement technique/system one can over come any belief system limitations.
      You are right, its just hard when you don't know if you want to shake it off. Some people love misery and misery loves company.

      Learn from those mistakes and move on, you can't go back in time and fix it.

      Yes, in fact she did respond to the message with a "thanks baby" weird since she rarely calls me that ever. I don't really know if she was curious though, never asked.

      Yeah, I know what you mean. Feels good just thinking about it. Being all comfortable and what not.

        When you texted your mom, did she text back something like, "What did you do wrong and how much will it cost"? :p

        Seriously, though, awesome vid. Love how you just lay it down without all the gift wrapping. Straight shootin'. That's what it's all about.

          Lol man that would have been funny if she did say something like that, lucky for her she rarely has too.

          But yeah, I tend to not want to beat around the bush, just give it to you straight.

          Thanks.

          I wish it was easier to forget things and control thoughts and images. Instead trying to forget them often paradoxically keeps them around longer when they're things that bother you and you actually want to forget them.

          Though we do have a choice to not give much importance or focus to the thoughts, images and feelings hanging around in our heads and try to not care that they're there or not, even if it feels like they ruin the present things you want to think about and do. Don't struggle with trying to get rid of them cause that is like struggling to get out of quicksand. Wanting them gone gives more energy to them (aka attention), when what you want is to give less energy to them. So as soon as you're fully successful at not caring if they are there or not and resisting their presence, you take away that energy focused on them and then they finally fade away on their own. It's not always easy to not care, even though we know that caring that they are there is what keeps them there, it is still so automatic and intuitive. We have to do what is counterintuitive. Takes a lot of practice and mindfulness.
          Thanks for the compliment on my deep voice

          And you are absolutely right about that as well. Which is why staying focused on the here and now is so important, if all you focus on is what is happening right here, right now. Do you even think about what happened yesterday?

          I know I don't, all I'm thinking about is right now, as in what I'm typing on my computer screen right now. If someone was to ask me what I did yesterday as I'm typing this I wouldn't be able to tell them immediately because I would be too focused on doing this.

          Its the same with things that bother you, think of everything that went horribly wrong in your life, then think about everything that went right. Then just think about what went right, instead of what went wrong. What went wrong only prepared you for what actually went right so in essence what went wrong really wasn't wrong at all but actually right.

          Unless you did something wrong, overcoming that will be a lot harder, one way to do that would be to not give it any energy. You can't fix what has already been done but what you can do is give all of your energy to what you are going to do right now and focus on making that right.

          I think its just accepting the fact that what one may have did is wrong and admitting you can't do anything about it, so just move on really.

          Wow probably the longest reply from me ever :p

    Hi Isaiah Jackson:

    Nice thoughts on your video. Say hi to your mom from a bunch of nice guys and gals from WF.

    On the topic of dealing with the past, if you are still chewing and grueling your past mistakes, you are just wasting you time and energy that you should be addressing more important goals. You are just blocking your "vibes" with negative energy instead of recharging it with positive "vibes" from the universe.

    Long time ago, I was watching a movie with my son:"The Lion King" and we found a dialogue that really cause an impact in my life :
    {Rafiki whacks Simba on the head with his staff.}
    Simba: Oww! Jeez-- What was that for?
    Rafiki: It doesn't matter; it's in the past! {laughs}

    Simba: {Rubbing head} Yeah, but it still hurts.
    Rafiki: Oh yes, the past can hurt. But the way I see it, you can either run from it, or... learn from it. (TLK Script (HTML 3.0 Version))

    Then again it´s a matter of CHOICE.

    Greetings

    i have one of the strangest ways of dealing with my past in this lifetime .

    for the last for month i have been trying to break free of the patterns that keep me stuck in one place by understanding them an knowing how to avoid repeating those patterns.

    in realty the last 4 months have been some of the most painfull and draining of my life .but it has also been the first time that going through had some grounding in a future outcome .

    frankly i need to distance my self from my family now as they will always treate me as they have always treat me .. and i waste to much effort and energy trying to get back on the path i want to be on ..having to deal with them

      Hi Odahh:

      Break that vicious circle and move forward.
      Past is already gone. Love and do something for yourself.

      I know the feeling and you want to know what is working for me right now, keeping to myself. Thinking about myself (not to sound selfish) but I'm serious.

      You can't force your family to be a certain way, they act the way they do because they chose to act that way make sense?

      Next, who cares how you family treats you (not trying to sound harsh or anything).

      What really matters is how do YOU treat YOU?

      Focus on YOU first and always, then worry about everyone else later.

      Exactly, its just harder for some people than it is for others.

        careing how you are being treated now by those around you is importan in as far as somthing i may have posted earlier in this thread.

        you are either running away from the past or you are moving in the direction of who you want to be .

        how i have been treated by the world has been pretty much the same way my family treated me .

        the cavat is for the last 3 years i have been taking care of my elderly parents who my father has had 2 heart attacks .. and my mother has been really ill and needed a lot of help..most of it from me .

        when you are faced with the prospect of getting away from them to take care of your needs ..means they may pass earlier ..

        but i just can no longer wait for the to die to live the life i want .

        but i also now have a very clear vision on nearly every level of what the best life for me right now will be ..and with every day that pases over the last few weeks i am at that point i can shut my eyes and walk through smell taste and feel what it will be like .

        so the has been a shift from being stuck where i have been for a long tome to being pushed out of and struggling to break free ..to now being pulled forward to where i want to be .

        even my body and my back ..are lineing up..as day by day in the last week the pain in my back the has been constant for several years .. or the damage causeing the pain..feel like it is starting to heal .

        one by one over the last few months many of the excuses that where piled up have become invalid and been shredded .

    my family will never support me in what i want to do .. and will always make me feel like i am incabable of doing anything right..or at least right by them i will never be good enough..or do enough .

  • If you choose to and you are really skilled, you can block all memory of the past from your mind. In extreme settings, I have seen people do this naturally, but I must admit, it’s rare.
