This is a different kind of time travel.
It’s about how we go back in time - in our thoughts and relive the hurt and pain so very easily. And then we take that forward to our future and predict that it will happen again if we allow it. This back & forth with our misfortune can be good as long as we just leave it at being aware. Not get to a point where we shut down mentally and let it affect our future.
If I told you to close your eyes and pick ANY event/day of your life that has impacted you in a major way - Go ahead, try it. Write down what you felt - chances are that the experience you recalled was not a happy one. And the feelings associated with that event, put a damper on your day today as well.
Now let’s try another time travel.
This time we go back in time and choose a happy moment. Re-experience that happy moment. Feel the joy, feel the butterflies, feel the sense of peace wash over you. Are you smiling?
So then, let me ask you this.. is it not with intent that we chose what we want to remember in the second experiment?
If you have the intent, your memories can remain happy, your present and future can reflect the exact same happiness. You just have to allow yourself to be that vulnerable, to be that carefree and that open to possibilities.
We literally just hand over power to our past experiences to control our present and to an extent our future. Keep the control in your hand. You choose what you will remember and you choose who you will allow in your thoughts and in your life.
The past can guide you, sure, but should not set your future path.
Your present and future can be as happy and bright as you want it to be.
May it be filled with sunshine and sunflowers (and May you be not allergic to them!)
