Making peace of your past...so, it won't mess up the present.....

Assalamualaikum and good evening to all...



I had been very busy all these days...got locked up in our study room during the weekends and had full concentration on my transciption work which is due tomorrow...too bad, although it was not mine but was instructed by my honourable BOSS to help my collegue as she got stuck with the english transciption...so, i got the "shit"...i called it a "shit" coz this one is a "shit"....luckilly, i am not having a high blood pressure or suffering migrain or any kinds of headaches...if not, i would have collapsed while doing it...i had put all my strength to end it up this evening and i felt so relieved when I finished doing it...no doubts, there are other cases which is needed to be transcribed but THIS ONE IS REALLY A BURDEN....

Well, it has been quite sometimes that i had not been updating my blog, Just thought of writing on something to ease my night after a very long-tiring day.... just thought of asking myself....Are regrets, bad memories, or losses keeping me from enjoying each new day? Is the past keeping me from moving into the future with hope and anticipation?


I recently heard a man say that it was not until he made peace with his past that he truly began to live.  It changed his life so drastically that everyone noticed there was something different about him.  It was not until 20 years after losing his father that he began to grieve the loss for the first time.  He finally allowed himself to face his past with all the anger and pain.  There was so much that he missed out on.  There were lost opportunities and things that would never be, so many regrets, poor choices, and bad experiences that would affect the rest of his life. 

This man went through a process of acceptance and forgiveness.  He felt the pain.  He felt the anger.  He mourned what was and could have been.  And then, he released it.  He made peace with his past, and he was ready to move on with his life.  Suddenly, new opportunities before him became exciting.  He began to fully appreciate what he had, the people in his life, and what he had become.  He began to hope for a better and brighter future.  He was ready to give more of himself to others.  And he began to enjoy his life more and more.

For the first time since he could remember, he felt free—free of burdens from the past, free of unresolved pain, free of bitterness and self-pity.  He was free indeed!  He was free to enjoy his life, his family, and all that he had like never before.  The past would no longer steal his joy and hope.  It could not hold him back, and it was not going to keep him down any longer.

Is your past keeping you from fully enjoying your life?  Sometimes we do not stop and think about it.  Just like the man described above, we might have regrets, unresolved pain, sorrow, anger, or unforgiveness.  These things keep us bound to the past.  The past does not have to negatively influence our future.  We can release it as we face it, deal with the emotions, come to accept what was and now is, and forgive our past.

Making peace with our past will lead us to experience healing, wholeness, and freedom to live our life with true joy.   Every day is a new day to appreciate and enjoy.  We do not have to allow our past to keep us from being truly happy today.  Choose to be free and take the necessary steps to be free now......



so, the weekend ends and tomoro we start a new day in a new week...coming soon a new month....
When your past no longer controls your life—your peace, your hope, attitude, relationships, ability to love others, give and share of yourself, dream, believe, and trust once again, then you are free!

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference.


GOOD NITE & SWEET DREAMS EVERYONE...
