Once you realize that your past is just a story, it has no power over you.
~Joanna Reyes
Today I came across these words. It was like a bomb going off in my head.
It was an "aha" moment.
Memories that I hold near and dear, memories that I regret, memories that sadden me, memories that anger me, are only stories. I was holding on to them as if they were giving life to my existence.
I held on to them as if they were fuel to my success. And all this time they were just past stories that I have allowed to control my present thoughts. I have been giving them the power to do so without restraints.
For example, I can't get over disliking so & so, because of a story in my imagination. I allowed the images my mind created and stored, to keep me prisoner to that place and time, holding me to the emotional negativity. The same negativity that causes stress that leads to many deadly diseases.
I will from this day right them, by writing them as stories. I will no longer give them power over me. When they come up, I will write them down and render them powerless in my life, but powerful enough to help someone else.
