Letting Go

Living in the past is a delusion. The past had already happened, it is gone forever. The reason why some people cannot forget about the past is because their mind keeps on playing back past memories. It is like playing an old tape recorder many many times, be it pleasant or unpleasant memories. These thought forms are not real at all because the past events or people are no longer the same as before. Hence, do not fall prey to your thought forms as they are not real. Clinging on to them will only bring you eventual pain and suffering. Move on to live mindfully in the present moment, and cherish every moment you have now. Be mindful of the word "impermanence", which means nothing is eternal. All things are subject to change.
