The Art Of Forgetting In Relationships
Sometimes, someone says something in two minutes that makes you feel really bad
- they said it in two minutes but it is still there inside the register of your
mind two months or even two years later. How could they! Who do they think they
are! Something happened in two minutes and you remember it, you repeat it again
in your mind and in your words during interactions with others. You keep replaying
the scene repeatedly in your mind. Just like an action replay of a cricket match,
you see the replays from different angles and judge the scene in many different
and negative ways and come to different conclusions, most of which are negative
in nature. With this you strengthen that experience in your mental register. Memories
and the experiences associated with the memories replayed continuously in the conscious
mind enter your sub-conscious, so that even after a long period of time you remember
what they said to you. The other person unburdened themselves and forgot it straightaway.
It's like your neighbour who takes out rubbish, throws it outside his house, into
your compound and forgets about it and you allow that rubbish to remain there, without
thinking of getting it cleaned. Someone throws a few words at you and they forget,
but not only do you not forget but you repeat them in your mind to such a point
that at times these action replays do not even let you sleep. We need to learn the
art of forgetting memories that generate shadows of hurt or pain in our present.
The past has already gone and what you have now is the present moment.

Message for the day 27-06-2013
----------------------------------------------------------
The one who is powerful shows the practical proof of success instead of just talking
about it.
Projection: It is usually very easy for us to talk about how to do things
best, it is as much easy to tell others and give directions. But the one who is
powerful is not just satisfied with mere words or proving to others about his success.
He is more concerned more about being successful.
Solution: We need to check if we are applying in our life what we are talking
about. We need to see to it that whatever we speak about, we must put into practice.
Only then will we find improvement and progress in our life. Then, there will be
no more the need to talk about our success but our life will reveal how successful
we are. We will, then, be an inspiration to many.
