How often do you wish that you have never done it, something you have done in the past? How often do you wish if you could undo or edit your life, restarting back from a certain point in the past? No matter how strong is your wish, how deep is your anguish, the past can’t be changed.
Yet it is innate to have such wishes for the reason that neither can you have a past without mistakes nor can you get rid of mistakes in the future. Mistakes happen in spite of who you are. Who expected Jesse Jackson and Tiger Wood, who stand on their dignities to get caught in sex scandals? Successors are those who take mistakes as lessons of wisdom, obstacles as opportunities, not as consternations with regret.
How hardly a disaster strikes, how destructive it is, how desperate you are, remember, it too shall pass as 26th December 2004 had. At dreadful moments, it is normal for you to wonder if you will ever make it, if you will ever reach your goal, if your life will ever be the same or better than before, if it is really worth to go through all the pain and suffering while you are unaware about the final outcome. Yes, this is the life of this world. Happiness, worries, sadness are a part of human life. Solution is to get strengthened, encouraged and empowered in front of the unpredictable future ahead, not to harbor meaningless wishes for a life without trouble. If the door in front of you is closed, another opens, so don’t wait there looking at the closed one in despair.
You don’t necessarily need to have the best of everything for you to be happy, just move with the flow of your life, taking happiness as a journey, not as a destination. Remember, when your friend finishes a 3 hour exam within 1 hour doesn’t mean he or she would score better than you. When your friend is not being tested like you are doesn’t mean his or her life is precious or happier than yours. You need to wear his or her shoes for you to know what he or she is up to. Never expect to get mentally or physically matured by getting aged, maturity has more to do with the variety of things you have met and learned in your life.
Take lessons from the past and treasure every moment of your life as much as possible. Let bygones be bygones and happily begin the New Year 1431, 2010 with hopes and inspirations.
Past can never be changed... but the pain may remain for the life time..
