Of different sizes and shapes, of different emotions and situations, of\ndifferent times with different rhymes, we have memories of every kind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Past, it\u2019s now in the form of memories within us. Physically, mentally,\nand emotionally, they build up this very body. For few, it\u2019s guiding them; for\nfew, it\u2019s haunting them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s delve into this deep lovable\/hauntable reality of life which one\ncarries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As soon as you hear the term \u201cmemory\u201d, one, directly connects only with a\nparticular memory; the incident which occurred at one particular point of time\nwhich  has now become a deep abyss you\nfall, over and over again into every time you try to look at it. Painful,\nlovable whichever kind it is, its within you and very real for you. The fundamental\nfaculties of human beings are- memory and imagination. These can do miracles to\nthe world and you if you know how to use them efficiently and effectively. Unfortunately,\nmost of the people suffer these wonderful faculties, just because we don\u2019t know\nhow to use them. One can \u201cthink\u201d they know how to use them perfectly, but ask\nyourself sincerely, not to me, but your-self. Do you really \u201cknow\u201d? or do you \u201cthink\u201d\nyou know? Many moments might have happened in your life, but only few of those\nmoments took the form of memories. Those moments were special, either pleasant or\nunpleasant, but they are special as they still run within you. This very\nmoment, your unconsciously thinking of that particularly memory which made your\nlife extremely sad, situations which messed up with you completely, which made\nyou mad, which made you to surrender to life; that moment which shattered you;\nthat moment which broke you; that moment which turned your life completely\nupside down within seconds (or) extremely happy, extremely lovable; that particular\nmoment when you felt the wholeness of life, that moment when you felt the true\nlife.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

 The moment you heard the terms happiness\nand sadness, you are basically taking about the pleasant and unpleasant experiences\nof life. These experiences don\u2019t just have thoughts with it, but there are\nemotions which are deeply attached with it. \nAt some particular point of time, you felt something\/someone will bring\nyou pleasantness which came in form of love, happiness, peace, desire. Many of\nus are deeply attached to that memory of a person who deeply mattered to us. That\nperson whom you thought is the  world for\nyou, that person whom you thought would be the one for you;  whom you thought would be alongside you all\nthe time, that person whom you thought would never leave; that person whom you\nthought you could surrender your trust, that person whom you thought you could\nshare your entire life, with  whom you\nthought you could lay your head upon their shoulder and rest feeling secured,\nsafe, trusted, loved, happy, peaceful, pleasant, open.<\/strong> But as time passed, it occurred, the person whom you daily\ntalk with, slowly stopped talking; they started to slowly stop meeting you, ignore\nyou; they started to give less importance to you; they started to slowly move\naway from you, slowly break away from you. And then one day it happened, they\nare away from you, from your life. That person whom you thought would be your\nwhole left you cold. Numbness started to spread all over the body. Body being completely\nconfused, emotions being completely lost. It just pierced your heart. Confused,\nanxious, depressed, sad, empty, lost.<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Times passed, life slowly fell back into place. When you were with\npeople, you laughed, you enjoyed, you smiled, you moved; but deep down, only\nyou see what they can\u2019t see. For them, you were completely normal; but for you\n,you were confused between almost normal and not even close to normal. You know,\nwhen life fell back into pieces, one particular piece broke into a million\ndifferent shades which can never be brought back. It just left you there,\nempty. Your mind, emotions and the very body of yours were completely in a\nclear confusion. You tried to ignore it, you tried to get it back, you tried\nand are still trying to give yourself into it. What was a beautiful moment \u201cthen\u201d\nbecame a painful memory \u201cnow\u201d. The harder you tried, the more it broke. The stronger\nyou tried to hold, the heavier it became. You know you want to come out, but\nyou were struck. You were living in imagination and reality at once. Imagining that\nsomething wonderful might happen to help you get back, while the reality was,\nyou need to accept that it will never be the same and it might never get back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Take a deep breath. Feel\nit channelling through your body.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now that you want to transform and change yourself, you need to face the\nreality.  You need to accept what has happened.\nNot in the terms of morality, but in terms of life. It is now just a memory. However\nvaluable it maybe to you, it\u2019s a memory now. It only exists in your mind, nowhere\nelse. When you are too attached to this memory and want to hold it strong, you\ncan\u2019t live, you can\u2019t enjoy nor can you die. It\u2019s a lifeless life. Because of\nthat, you can\u2019t enjoy your food, can\u2019t visit a \nplace you always visited, can\u2019t look at someone, can\u2019t breathe the way\nbefore, can\u2019t smile the way you did, can\u2019t think the way you thought, can\u2019t\nsleep, can\u2019t even enjoy your cup of coffee or the drops if rain. Everything is\nnow clouded by your memory. Please observe this. Everything around you and\neverything you observe, it simply is in the state the way they are. It is because\nyour vision is clouded by that memory, you are not even able to observe things\nthe way they are.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Yes, its unforgettable, it\u2019s hard to move away from it, it\u2019s hard to\nstop those thoughts stop from interrupting every aspect of your life, it\u2019s hard, not to think about it<\/strong>. Please\nobserve. These things happened. <\/strong> One cannot have control over past, but everyone-\nif they are willing- has a chance to \nmake the future and create their destiny with the help of past. Not but\nholding the memories, but but allowing them to flow. If you try to hold the\nflow of a river, it just breaks the barriers and overflows into different\nregion. Similarly, if you try to hold these emotions, thoughts and memories,\nthey\u2019ll burst out in form of anger, fear, depression, anxiety, disease, mental\nimbalance and it might even create a slow poison  within you. All, of these things occur just because\nwe don\u2019t know how to handle our own mind. Because, no one guided on how to live\na life blissfully by taking these faculties of body and mind to the ultimate by\nusing them effectively. No one guided during our growth because they themselves\nare struck in this. This cycle has been on since generations and generations. Don\u2019t\nyou want to come out of that cycle and start to explore the experience the life\nat least now?  Don\u2019t you want to come out\nof that mental diarrhea? Don\u2019t you think it\u2019s time to take charge of your own\nlife?  Don\u2019t you think it\u2019s time to make your\nthoughts and emotions happened the way you want them to happen?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First and foremost thing to observe is, you are a mortal being. If you\nwere immortal, you can be depressed for 500 years and happy for another 500\nyears, then blissful for another 1000 years. But its\u2019 not like that. You are a\nmortal being and death may happen any moment. Don\u2019t try to bring death, it will\nnaturally happen. \u201cNo, no I want to put end to all my pain and sufferings, I want\nput an end to this\u201d; if this is so, then just hold your breath, don\u2019t breath. You\u2019ll\nsee, within no time something within you is thriving to live!.<\/strong> One feels that way because, they are just living in their\nthoughts and not with life. If you live in thoughts, you become limited, your\njust recycling whatever you gathered mentally. If you live with life, its unlimited,\nwhatever you wish can happen if you work towards it consciously with intense and\nunwavering focus and attention. Everything around you is blooming with life. You\njust need to be sensitive enough to embrace the beauty of life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201dIf I become sensitive, everyone will start poking me and beat me down\u201d.\nPlease understand the difference between sensitivity and stupidity. Becoming sensitive\nto life does not mean to become weak, it just means to enhance your perspective\nand be open to such an extent that, when you look at a flower or even at a\nrock, you can embrace the aliveness, beauty and the life within it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Whatever happened, it just happened. There can be no other way to change\nthe past. \u201dThis moment the way you are is the only way you can be, there is simply\nno other way.\u201d  If you understand this,\nyou have already stepped into transformation. You can either be wounded or be\nwiser from past experiences. The more broken you are, the wiser you should be, isn\u2019t\nit?  You need to simply accept the\npresent, because there is nowhere to go and live other than in the present.  You can use those memories to enhance your\nlife or denounce your life. Your future depends on the way you make your\npresent. It\u2019s your choice to choose on whether you want to allow the past to\ncontrol the present or you want to take control of present. Every experience\nyou had can be used to create pleasantness within you.  If it creates pleasantness, you can embrace\nit; if it creates unpleasantness, you can simply throw it away-not with hate\nbut with grace. Its good to be broke of a while as it shows the reality of\nlife. Don\u2019t be broken, be awaken.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You are the maker of your life<\/strong>. If you act\nconsciously, the very nature of your mind can take you to the peaks of the ultimate.\n   <\/p>\n\n\n\n
