What’s your outlook on the future? The city or the suburbs? Kids or not? Continue playing sports or coach? Our preferences often stem from past experiences, shaping our present actions.
But what if our decisions were untethered from the past? Past pains and pleasures influence many choices. Living in the city to avoid reminders of an unpleasant childhood, choosing an honest boss reminiscent of a beloved parent.
Life’s path becomes narrow, with little room for deviation, leading to discontent when off course. What if we liberated ourselves from the past? Letting go doesn’t discard the lessons; it allows us to make decisions from the present.
Much like not needing to carry the burn of a hot stove to remember not to touch it again. Embracing the present moment widens the path, offering more options to achieve our goals. Instead of avoiding the subway due to a past incident, we add choices.
Life from the present brings freedom, creativity, and fulfillment now, fostering hope and joy for the future.
