IS YOUR THEN AFFECTING YOUR NOW ?

Imagine, A glass of water filled up till the brim. Now, you need to fill it with more water. What would you do? Ostensibly, you'd empty it and fill it again. Now, think of this glass as your life and  the pre-filled water as your past. A much cliché example. Yet the most apt one. 
I have often heard people exclaiming, "I had a terrible past, and the reason why i am like this is my past." No dude, NO!!
You're like this because you're still stuck on something that has already happened and won't change. The more you're stuck in the past, the more difficult it is to live your present. You need to stop dwelling on something that has already happened and you thinking about it, would not change it. You can't start the new chapter if you keep re-reading the last one.
To heal a wound, you ought to stop touching it.
Until you release the wounds of past, you are going to bleed. You have to bandage. It may leave a scar behind, but it would be just to remind you the strength you'd put in to recover from it. 
❇️ Quote of the Day #498: Stop Living In The Past! 🙌

 Whatever it may be, whatever you may have done, accept it and let it go. You're not perfect, you're capable of making mistakes.Stop hiding from the shadows of your past. Don't get trapped in the shattered memories. Just make peace with what happened, that's the only way to start again. 

 You know what the mere truth is? The truth is unless you let go, unless you forgive yourself, unless you forgive the situation, unless you realize the situation is over, you cannot move forward, peacefully. 

 AND, by making peace with your past, it isn't necessary to think of future. Don't let the sadness of your past and the fear of your future, ruin the calmness of your present. Remember, Empty hands are easy to hold things. 
It would be much easier for you to live your present, if you're just in the moment, not behind, not ahead. Just at the right moment, enjoying the right thing. 

 You can live in the moment by adopting five simple ways. which are:
#1 Focus on the now. Duh! that's but obvious. You're actually trying to do that. 
#2 Pay attention to the small things around. Just observe, what you have now.
#3 Smile. It would help in living the moment, plus it may enhance your personality.
#4 Do small acts of kindness. They are random and spontaneous- in the moment. Do what moves you. 
#5 Give thanks. You owe your thanks to the one's who have stood beside you in your difficult times, especially your parents. Be thankful to them, because they didn't abandoned you at your worst.

These ways may seem just philosophical, but these are a few steps that count. Believe me, the day you stop cheating your present with the past, the story changes.
 Just remember, you have a new story to write everyday and it won't be the same as the previous one. 
Until then, Happy Today-ing. 😃❤️

    But still the past in you will never fade away and if that's with a close one it will keep coming in front of you every time what about that

 Okay, so earlier this day, i came across a video. In the video, that fellow gentleman asked to close eyes and name three people you love in your life the most. So as to prove his and eventually my whole point, let's close eyes for a minute and name any three people we love, like truly love. Take a minute and go on. Done. Okay, so let's say you named three people- the question here is not who you named or how difficult it was to name only three people but the question here is,did you bother to name yourself ? Because i didn't. The idea of naming myself didn't even crossed my mind until that man asked so in the latter part of the video. And it was then that i realized, that maybe for a teeny tiny bit- i don't prioritize myself that much. Maybe I don't love myself enough and seeking the "love" in others is what generally disappoints me. Not that loving someone is wrong or the three names you took would disappoint you always, but the thing is, we normally...

THE 'BACKWARDS' LAW

According to Alan Watts, a British writer and speaker,   “The desire for more positive is itself a negative experience. And, paradoxically, the acceptance of one’s negative experience is itself a positive experience.”  This is a total mind fuck thing. So maybe, I would give you all a minute to unpretzel your brain and read that again. To summarise what I quoted above, ‘Wanting of positive experience is itself a negative experience. Instead we ought to first accept the negative experience.’ Now this is definitely something that would trigger you guys. I agree. It is just like thinking about the negative experience. But you see, there is a minute difference between accepting and thinking about it.  In order to gain the ultimate guide on ‘How to be happy’ we must first accept the reason for being sad. We must accept the fact that not everything happens the way we want it to. Life would lose its meaning if it would just resort to being a piece of cake. Because it isn’t. We mu...

FORGIVE AND FORGET

Okay, so I am going to begin this blog on a very informal note today. Reason being, I am feeling a billion things while I am writing this and maybe I just want to share my thoughts.  A few days back, I was feeling a bit low and I thought that it was perfectly normal because it isn't the first time I'm feeling so much.  But soon I realized that I'm just not able to think straight and this 'thing' has been bothering me so much. Imagine wasting your entire ocean of thoughts for someone who is as questionable as your thoughts, metaphorically.  I mean people these days just go on pretending. They are something else on your face and a complete different personality behind your back. Not only this, even after being two different personalities, they have the audacity to make you feel shitty. And, then when you just get to know about their two-faced personality, they're SORRY!!! Like what? Do you have some chemical imbalance going inside your head or are you ju...
