Blast from the past!!!

Do we really believe that once its past we are done with it? Amazingly I have found myself time and again saying that Past is the only Perfect. For more reasons than one as it would come to light, but for me that is one thing of the many that we can't change. And funny enough most things that we can't change are in the past. So if it unchangeable can we begin to accept that what happened then was the best thing for us?

"I wish I could go back in time and change things around." "I wish I could re live that moment." "I'd do anything to undo the past." "It was the best time of my life." "I wish I could erase it from my life." All so familiar sentences we've heard, but has anyone been able to do go back and change even a second of their life? No, and no surprises in that. But does that mean that was meant to be or is that what we made it to be.

That's where Free Will and Destiny come in to play. If we can never go back in time should we be more conscious of our choices in the Present. From choices of what food should be part of my diet to who should I be dating? Both have drastic impacts in our lives. Former decides if we live healthy or not or even at all and the latter decides if we do live then are we happy. But trust me when I say that, when you get the feeling that it's too late you've already gone beyond your chance to make amends. And when that Blast from the past hits you back, then all you can do is either embrace it or ignore it.

If it's happy times well and good, it will make you smile once again. On the other hand, if it caused you grief then, well now you’re in for more tears. Nonetheless some actions, memories, moments, relationships and emotions from the time gone say a different story every time they are revisited. Some even give us a different perspective on life and make us feel almost totally opposite but are they not the things we chose?

Nothing new and we may have heard this umpteen times. But it's still worth taking a moment and thinking again of the choices we make in the present and how we want our future to be. Cause once this second passes it's going to be in the reversible PAST!
