We tend to live in our “stories”…those negative events of our lives we just can’t let go of. It’s easy to repeat the stories of how we have been cheated or victimized by life. In repeating these stories to anyone who is willing to listen to them, we keep the negative event alive.
If we truly want life to be different, we must give up our stories. As long as we keep watering those experiences, we give life to the pain they created. I believe that if you are stuck in your past story, it keeps you from seeing the self-destructive patterns and habits that you’re engaged in the present.
We keep our stories alive by believing our old experiences are all that we deserve. It is clear to me that when we are conscious of our negative self-talk, we can begin to find freedom from negative patterns. It’s essential to develop a compassionate understanding of who we are.
The heartaches of the past are the devils of the present and the creators of evil in the future. When we live in the past, we no longer can create in the present. We live on what was, continuously watching old reruns over and over. Since the present is where we create our future, we choose our thoughts carefully and bless and release the power of the past.
We give thanks for the power that operates in us now---DJ
