Reliving The Memories Of The Past (Part 1)
Have you ever spent a complete day pondering (thinking) over events that have taken place a day or a month or a year ago? Do you know that the thinking capabilities of the mind are overused when we deviate the energy of our attention to a set of thought patterns which are based on an already passed past, forgetting the rebuilding of a positive future can be done simply by focusing on the present set of circumstances and being pro-active and efficient in shaping it to make it the best. A very common habit that each one of us holds inside us of reopening events that have already folded in the reel of life and mixing them with the current state of affairs and creating a negative future because our perceptions of current situations get influenced negatively by doing the same.
Remaining focused on the present is sometimes seen as over-positive thinking by some and also seen as remaining disconnected from the past, which is very much the truth of the state of affairs of your life. A balance has to be struck between being forward looking i.e. taking care that the past problems do not re-occur in the future and at the same time not worry about the same. There is a fine line which differentiates concern and worry. While remaining concerned does involve thinking about the past, on the other hand, worry means the same but the only difference that in the case of worry, thinking exceeds the necessary thought level, crosses it and touches the unnecessary and sometimes even exceeds that, entering the sphere of waste thoughts and for some even beyond that into the sphere of negative thoughts. On the other hand, remaining concerned means your thoughts remain limited to the spheres of the positive and necessary and at the same time you take the right action to prevent the past mistakes from happening again. Also, one who is concerned and not worried while remembering the past, will use the past as a stepping stone to enter a future which is free from the shadows of negative happenings of the past.

Message for the day 01-06-2015
-----------------------------------------
To have the consciousness of being on a pilgrimage is to move forward with contentment.
Thought to ponder: On a pilgrimage, there are many obstacles that one faces. But they don't stop, because their goal is clear. In the same way, in our lives too, when we move forward with clarity, we are able to be free from wasteful actions. We will do only that which is useful and that too with love and dedication. Also, there would be no looking back, the journey is always forward.
Point to practice: Today I will remember that I am on a pilgrimage. Whatever I do today holds significance and I do it with so much dedication and love. I will only do that which is right. I will not perform any action, which is negative or destructive for the self.
