Our Minds

I am not a psychologist, or a counselor, these are my thoughts based only on what I have learned in life by talking and experiencing life. Please do not hold my thoughts against me.

Have you ever noticed when we look back in life and we recall certain things that we remember them differently then they actually were. We seem to remember things as good not as bad as they once were. Our minds have a way of transforming our thoughts to make it seem like a rosy garden, not the garden full of weeds.

When we look back in life, it is hard to see the truth that once was. Yes in my past there where good times, but there was more bad time then good. In my former relationships all had struggles and my failures, but my mind wants me to only remember the good, or to even make up good in them. If you go back and try to live in the past, it is full of hurt and pain. The past needs to remain in the past, but what is here today is the present. We need to learn that we can't live in the past, that we can't think that yesterday will come back, because it is gone. If we want to avoid history repeating itself, we must learn from our past, remember it as it happened. We need to avoid the same pitfalls and see that life has a funny way of working out, but you need to take a minute and remember the past the way it really was instead of seeing it as you want to all the good and no pain.
