Past:
Something good,bad or both happened which either had an impact on your life or on others'. Of course if something good happened with a good impact,it would be awesome to keep it forever in the future. I'm talking about an obstacle in your past that you can't overcome,something that prevents you from moving forwards with you life,maybe a breakup,a fight,death or loss. They all form a huge block in your running track and to be honest,you'll get over whatever faces you in your past but the trick lies in whether you want to climb that brick or jump directly over it and keep running?
Most of you keep thinking about what happened and how it could have happened or maybe how I would have changed or even prevented it from happening. Most of you blame themselves. Most of you cry. Most of you give up on the silliest things just because of that. Some of you find life unbearable to live anymore!
Let's change this negative attitude a bit. So,a certain event took place and it does have an impact,and if you're gonna think about it,you're fooling yourself because neither thinking NOR crying will help you move on. We all cry because of something but it's not about now,you see,it's about what will be of a good use for the future. Let me tell you a story of a brave boxer that may not appeal to you much:
A famous American Professional boxer who won the world heavy weight championship at a young age and with total record of 56 wins was having an important boxing match coming up in a couple of days and he was getting ready for it,along with his training staff and coach,you know,the regular workouts for boxers,it aches me to write this story as I'm a weak fella. However,he got the most unfortunate call back from his hometown informing him of his father's death and that the funeral will be held the day before the match at which this boxer's presence should be noticeable. Yes,he was sad and oh yes,he did cry but soon,on the very same day,he decided that he won't be attending the funeral and he said that his father was one of the dearest to his heart and he loved him the most,he didn't attend the funeral but instead he continued his training for his upcoming match.
What would you call this? Some of you will say:"What a fool,his father is dead and he's training?" Others will say:" What a brave man!" And even others might say:"Hahahaha,a boxer crying.."
What people say doesn't matter and although he's famous,he never cared what the press would publish about such a story. This boxer knew the true meaning of Past Vs future concept,his father died and attending his funeral won't make him live again,he knew he lost a huge part of his life and he did show his sorrow but he soon overcame it and came back to himself wondering if this would affect his match the following day. He accepted his past and knew he can't change it,instead,he has put his eyes onto the real goal of his life.
Read this story over and over again,do you want to be like this boxer? Careless about what others will say about you and with absolute self-trust,overcoming your past?
Don't you ever think that your past will prevent you from moving,because actually,you do have the power and you do allow the past whether to prevent you or not! You control where and when you want to overcome your past to live a happier and fruitful life,and I suggest to start RIGHT NOW! Give up on your past,you gave it enough of your time already and please focus on what's coming up ahead of you! Life has got much lemons to give and if you didn't finish your past lemonade,I'm telling you,you'll have to drink all of it in a moment.
