But … I Wish I could… Turn Back Time…

By G.Gayathri

Beautiful song by Backstreet Boys. Every person at least once in his life time would have thought this, I wish I could turn back time, it may seem impossible but I wish I could, and life will never be the same.

Usually this kind of thinking and thoughts come to our mind when we are not happy with our present state of mind and life. It is only then that we start looking back into our past searching for the right times and the good or happy times. Or to put it in a better way we want to take a corrective action so that our life would change its direction for betterment.

But we can only do that in imagination but not in reality. There is definitely one-thing in our hands that we can do make our life better and to feel happy in the situation that we are in.

That is to imagine our life from the point of view of future. Imagine yourself standing ahead in life five years or ten years from now, from that point of time if you think of today, how would you lead your life?

What changes do you want to make in yourself and in your life style? What kind of decisions would you take, and how would you utilize the time that you have at present in your hands?

If we try to forget our past, live in the present and think about our future life would always be full of hope and positivity, because it lies in your hands to create your future by acting in the right way now.

So it definitely makes sense to live in the present and to lay a good foundation for our future instead of pondering over I could have or I should have.

All the wise men of the world have said that real wisdom lies in living life as if you are going to die the next moment. Yes that is real living, living life each and every moment with no regrets or tensions because who knows may be this is the last moment and we are no fools to spend it crying or feeling tensed.

Right, so if you are a seeker of happiness and peace and want to live life full and complete, forget the past because it has already passed and has no existence and live this moment full and if possible think good and positively about the future because it makes sense to do so.

Past, Present and Future

Finish everyday and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt have crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be cumbered with your old nonsense. This day is all that is good and fair. It is too dear, with its hopes and invitation, to waste a moment on yesterdays.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Some incidents, some harsh words, and some people have such an influence on our life that, we can rarely forget them, and feel hard to move far word in life. And from that point of time we start seeing other people or other relations from the same point of view our experience has revealed us. A wrong act done by an employee at a certain period of time changes our entire view about everyone else, we start seeing everyone from the same eyes, and there we begin our first step towards, punishing someone else for what some other person has done to us.

We let our past experiences creep into our present, and obstruct our vision of looking at people as what we think they are, instead of what they are. Our bitter experience with the past employer, and we tend to see and think the new one also to be the same, and behave in the way we should not. A bitter experience in a personal relationship, and we think, it would be the same next time or with next person.

In life every moment is new, every second is new, the people you encounter are different and it is not right to treat and think that everyone would be same. We should not let our past influence our present, or we should not let the worry of future creep into our mind, because neither are in our control, and all that we have in our hands is present, and if we want to move ahead in life we need to be ‘present’ in present, only then you will have a bright future.

So, when we learn to live life moment by moment, and deal in person to person not letting our past come in between, we live life, like life, fully present, in present. When you live in present, and handle it properly, you are shaping your future properly.

Time defines Life!

Our life, and our future is determined by the way we spend our time, every second every minute, every hour and every day, we are laying foundation for our future, by our thoughts and deeds. People who are wise use time wisely and properly, they say time is money but I say time is everything; time is your life, your life time, every second of your life when it's gone, it's gone forever, you are not going to gain it.

Time is the most important of all the resources that a man possesses. A millionaire has the same time, other person on the street has the same time, and an ordinary person is blessed with the same capabilities, as that of a successful and great person. The difference lies in the utilization of the resources we are provided with, how and what for we utilize our time determines our future, and our life.

When you are leading a planned and purposeful life utilizing every second and every resource and every capability you are blessed with, you give a meaning to your life. So be careful about the way you handle time.
