Memories can shape people’s future, but because we make up our minds to look back on challenging events in negative fashion, especially when it comes to things that we have grown past, we lose the lesson and value of that lesson. It is in the disassociation of our self to challenging times in our lives that we render them irrelevant to our personal growth. For example, a person who had an abusive childhood, might say ‘my childhood was horrible,’ period; and by doing this they have over-looked the fact that they were and are more than their experiences. When people do not create value in all experiences, even the most emotional painful ones, they neglect the fact they are powerful. For example, even a person who was abused likely had an imagination and other beautiful personal traits that children possess, so when a person diminishes their entire childhood with a dismissive negative connotation, they are discounting their amazing resiliency. Perhaps, this why people allow themselves to be re-victimized by their own memories, they pronounce their entire childhood as ‘bad’ instead of seeking the value. However, when a person seeks value in all life experiences; they become rejuvenated to heal past the ones that have lingering emotional pain at a deeper level. It is when we look back only to create value in the lesson gifted to us that we can truly see that we are the answer to the prayer we uttered for our self back then. All my Relations. (ejh)
