On one hand be calm, be steady do not rush to something you desire… For when you focus only on the desired outcome your moment passes you… you never fully accept the true meaning in each moment.
In the other hand life is meant to be lived… not planned or experienced in the passenger seat while you coast along afraid to drive. Some might say we should burn in each moment until we are ash, meaning we should never hold back, we should never be afraid of the moment… if we hold back we then exist in two separate places… one filled with happiness... one filled with fear... neither having our full attention nor commitment. We should be pure and inhabit each moment fully and with everything we have, if we hold back then it may be tainted with fear or uncertainty.
Perhaps we should aspire to fail to exist each day… to let go of the fear and trepidations associated with the thought of ourselves as fragile… when we let go and cease to concern ourselves with the outcome of each moment we can then truly live in each moment without fear of pain or death. We are reborn each moment, each speck of time changes you… the old you dies and the new you continues along.
The only way the past will hurt you is when you enable it too, you may revisit a moment in your mind that brings you great harm… but the harm is only in your mind… Time can be a flexible thing… you may actually feel the same because your mind does not know the difference between now and then.
We may act differently in our daily life after a traumatic experience but we are the one hurting ourselves… we are allowing the past to taint our present… and our future… In that way we are never moving… we haul the past with us in each moment and how can we give everything we are in this moment with such a momentous weight on our shoulders…
I think we must learn to except and move forward… now this is not an easy thing but it is certainly sometime to strive for…
…How can we ever expect to find happiness if we continually allow our past and the fear of the future to dictate our daily choices?
