So many I visit with refer to things of the past – choices, situations, people, etc.   My view of the past is this: its the past!  Oh I’m not saying never remember things of the past, but I do believe in using the past for positive things in my future.

For example, bad things have been done to me in the past, people have said or made me feel bad in my past, and admittedly I have made some stupid choices in the past.  As some will dwell on the negative things of the past, I have used the past as motivation and/or an evaluative tool in making changes for my life today.

One of my analogies I use in these situations is:  I view my life as a book.  We’ve all read books at some point and some of us have read books that we’ll refer back to, or reread, at some point.  Whether it’s the Bible, Sports Illustrated, a steamy romance, or an action thriller…if/when you reread it or simply replay what you’ve read in your head, do you go back to the bad or unpleasing aspects of the book?   In the same token that’s how I view the past in my life.  I love to reminisce about the good times in my past, or reread chapters of one of my favorite books such as Deepak Chopra’s “The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success”….but rarely do I reminisce about the bad things in my past nor reread a chapter/article that is not pleasing to me.  So again, I approach my past as a chapter in book…only going back for either good memories or re-learn something.

Disgruntled with life? your job? your income? your relationships? Everything comes down to this: the beauty of life, whatever life you live or want to live, boils down to CHOICES. Think about it, every second of every minute of every day your mind processes choices you have to make. Get out of bed or hit the snooze. Brush your teeth or not brush your teeth. Wear a red shirt or wear a blue shirt. EVERYTHING is a choice! And yes it applies to your situation, your relationships, your wealth, etc. Choices we make will impact, either directly or indirectly, the various aspects of our life.
You may have heard the phrase “Life is simple” or “Life is hard” – I’m not saying life will always be easy, carefree, abundant, etc all the time….but what I believe is the effects of the ‘negative things’ that come into our lives can EASILY be dealt with by the way we handle things, the way we think about things, the CHOICES we make in how we view life.

The time has come for putting my thoughts in words.   Not that my words or thoughts are golden, but they help me in my own life…which I am solely responsible for.  From time to time I will jot down in my life journey blog the feelings, thoughts, and musings of my imagination to provide insight and reflection of who I was, am, and will become.

One of my favorite photos taken in Hawaii in November 2007 began my quest to unlock “The Secret” and put me on this journey to seek what I deem a ‘better life’…..for me.
