Moody Monday: Here is Looking At You Kid!

Immagine for a moment coming face to face with my little friend here.  He is not so little, about two feet tall (60 centimeters).  He would make himself at home, sleeping under your bed poking his head out for an occasional scratch.  He feeds on your fears, bad memories and anxieties.

He seems to survive all attempts to kill or chase him away.  He can be shooed back under cover, but he is always lurking there waiting for an opportunity to surprise you.  

The best we can do is learn to live with him.  He is a part of your past, a past we can not change.  He disturbs today, because that is what his mission is in life.  He can't change the future, only how we live today.  

His purpose in life is to warn us about the mistakes of the past, so we can avoid repeating them. But in the process he dredges up the past in ways that we don't always find helpful. 

The best we can do is learn to live with him.  To say, thank you for reminding me to not repeat the regrets of the past, now go away and let me enjoy the moment.  

Origin is not destiny. 

Learn from the past and try not to repeat the mistakes of it. 

Carpe Diem!
