"One must always
maintain one's connection to the past and yet ceaselessly pull away
from it."
~Gaston
Bachelard
Good
morning!
This quote really got me
thinking. One of the facts that has been determined is that in order to
find true contentment and lasting joy we have to live in the present.
If we become overly reflective of the past, or overly concerned about
the future, then we begin living solely in our minds, versus in the
physical world. The physical world of our daily lives is where we must
live in order to create happiness and joy.
Of course, that is easier
said than done! As women, we are very good at worrying and anticipating
obstacles that have yet to arrive. We are also good at criticizing
ourselves for the mistakes of the past. But what good does either of
these two practices do besides sap our energy from living "in the now?"
This quote inspires my
realization that there is a healthy connection to both past and future,
but beyond that, we must pull away from letting either past or future
control what we have the ability to create in our daily life. We can
learn from the past - but let's not dwell in it. Instead, let us learn
the lessons and apply them today. Let us be "researchers" in our own
lives, noting what influenced us in the past, what made us happy, what
we regret - and let's take this research and apply it to maximize today.
Likewise, let us look
forward to the future with passion and excitement and expectation. Let
us realize that if we live "in the now" we stand the best chance of
creating the tomorrow we have always desired.
Your Turn:
Notice today how many times you spend
reflecting in the past or worrying about the future. Consciously draw
your attention back to "now" -- the only place where we can create true
change.
