While we walk into life we make memories, which are part of our past. When we focus on the past memories, mainly on the negative ones, those memories transform themselves in an alternative reality. It doesn't mean we live on the past but we may try to change the present to avoid or meet those memories. It is like to walk into a special sand, where our footsteps never get erased.

Some persons focus on the past not only with their own experiences but with the experiences of others. They can't control themselves and their actions; they are almost lost on their own present but to find some kind of pleasure and satisfaction, a sensation of power towards others, they try to control someone else by force; a desire to put a target person back to the past; a present adjustment. They will never succeed.

The beauty of life is its impermanence. Its constant state of change we experience every single day. What you do in the past counts as lessons; good or bad experiences have something to teach us. We should learn those lessons and embrace the impermanence of life consciously. Every day we should wake up, review what we have done on the near past, and set our good intentions to the present; to reach a hidden goal everyone [unconsciously] have: to be the best version of ourselves every single day. A best person; a best father; a best mother; a best employee; a best citizen.

We tend to use success past histories as examples to help us walk our present moment, our here and now. We focus on the good moments but we forget success histories have failures too; and they are so important they were part of the path to achieve the success we disseminate and spread out. We are afraid of failures; we have difficulty to learn lessons from them; we just enter into a mode we put them aside.

We often forget what define us is the power we have to consciously learn lessons from our past experiences, and the past experiences of others. Those lessons help us shape our present; help us to achieve our best versions; help us to embrace the impermanence of life.

Put your focus on the present and your past will be a big lesson to learn, not a track to follow.

Namaste 💓💓💓💓💓💓💓

  It’s important we get prepared to apply defensive manoeuvres any time, anywhere, and at any circumstances. Although the majority of us live in an environment where internal conflicts and wars are somehow not so close, dealing with dishonest, dishonoured, and deceptive people and behaviours requires us to be ready for facing and dealing with anything before us. That’s why it’s important to learn how to survive outside civilisation, where danger and threats aren’t limited to facing and dealing with minds in suffering. Inside a Jungle, a desert, or any other place where traces of civilisation are little or non-existent, the restrainment of resources (e.g., food and fresh water), as well as the presence of other animals in the surroundings (e.g., spiders, big snakes, jaguars, lions, tigers, and so on)---which may see us as a prey—become big concerns far more urgent than dealing with dishonest, dishonoured, and deceptive presence of minds in suffering in the surroundings. Thus, the mo...

  When our purpose is genuine and crystal clear, there’s nothing that can stop us to attain that goal, not even a strong source of negativity surrounding us. The secret is always on our motivation to thrive, and therefore, the motivation to trespass any barrier imposed, no matter the circumstances. We can think of it as a serious game; a game of life where we’ve no additional spare lives, which implies that every move counts either towards our goal or backwards to somewhere else. When we get used to so much negativity in the surroundings, and start realising it was there for much longer than we may be aware of, we start questioning everything. It’s in this darkest time that we need to look deep within to realise and understand we aren’t what the outside may project about us but what we feel of getting totally aligned with our love nature and fulfilling the mission we’re assigned when we were born. Let’s forget about others and focus on making sure love spreads all around, even if, ...

The Neo-Nazi ideology is already deep in the roots of our current society, and as part of our culture and way of life, it’s dictating and conditioning what people see as normal behaviour in some social spaces. The simple act of gossiping with the goal of imposing additional difficulties in the life of another is a Neo-Nazi influence that passes almost unnoticed to our naked eyes. Stopping and diminishing those behaviours related to Neo-Nazi ideologies is the way of facing darkness and dealing with the negative conditioning we’re subjected to in a conscious and meaningful way. No darkness has power to obfuscate the natural light we’ve deep within. We just need to find a way of cultivating and nurturing our light to be influenced and conditioned by darkness no more. Suicide is not a way out. We need to learn how to live a meaningful life with the duty of facing darkness and dealing with its presence in the surroundings in a conscious and meaningful way. That’s the path towards our person...
