Prisoner of past

"There is no greater hell than to be a prisoner of the past."

Prisoner of past(Never be a prisoner of your past, it was just a lesson, not a life sentence.)
.

Yes, it’s a factual sentence. Never be a prisoner of the past, because it makes your life like hell. Our life is full of changes; change is the rule of this world. Life has its three phases past, present, and future, But the saddest thing is most of us make our life like hell by dwelling in the past. The additional two phases are like the world we left behind and the world we are waiting for. Now if you dwell in the past, then being its prisoner you cannot take pleasure in your present and future as well. Many things happen with you and have to face a lot of challenges too but to overthink those things all the time will make you depressed. You cannot spotlight your goals until you take liberty from that prison of the past. Several times we go through a lot of hardships, sometimes we detached from our loved ones, and sometimes any incident takes place which can be terrific and unforgettable for us. Sometimes we cannot able to forget those incidents. But when such a situation would arise, at that time we have two options. The first one is to be a prisoner of the past and overthink those bad situations. The second one is to find ways to get your mind to accept the reality of life and shift on from those bad situations by weaving your new life.

Now it's our choice!

Do you want to become a prisoner of the past?

If yes, then will you be happy with this? 

&

Will you be able to build a strong future being a prisoner of the past?

If you will go with the first option then, definitely you will be spoiling your present as well as the future. Being a prisoner of the past you cannot move on & cannot think something good. And it will directly affect your life, your relations, your profession, and every other thing associated with you. You can be depressed and have many health issues. So just reflect over it, do you really want to waste your life like this, by repeating and recalling the same things of past over and over again. It is such a time-wasting thing for you and the people around you. If you will be like this then nobody even want to talk to you, because they would consider you as a negative person, and nobody likes to be in contact with the negative persons who have the same bad and negative stuff of the past to talk about over & over again. This is the situation when your mind is ruling you. Sometimes a severe depression would take place in such cases. And it's not easy to come out. 

Now it’s the time of the second option, which is usually a kind of challenge for us, and only the braves can accept this challenge. So if you would choose this option then, it would be wonderful for you. Once you make up your mind that even so, I have to overcome this challenge and would never think about the past. Then with this single decision, your life would become easier. You even don't realize how everything going in such a smooth manner. It is just a state of mind if you have the mindset to stop thinking about the past and start creating memorable moments now then nobody can stop you from doing so. You don't know about the power of the mind. You can rule over your minds only if you want. It is sometimes tough for many people but you all have that power within, all you have to do is to search that hidden power. Desire is a must for any success. Create something good that gives you the meaning of life.

If you are the prisoner of the past……..

Things to do:

I am telling you a few steps to follow if you are the prisoner of the past and want to overcome all that mindset; firstly you have to accept the reality, whatsoever it is. Then gradually make yourself as busier as possible only in the practices you like. Or in the free time just follow your passion, do meditation, watch & read the stuff you get inspired by, meet the people who inspire you, listen to good music, talk to yourself about your wellbeing, likes or dislikes, your happiness, etc. Try to not recall the awful memories. Then make a mindset to make a bright future ahead by giving your 100% contribution in your growth. Because nobody will come to solve your issues, you only have to face the challenges and triumph over them. Be a strong Individual of the present, not a prisoner of the past.

 

Things not to do:

Don't think about the same issue over and over again. 

Don't discuss your problems with everyone.

Don't discuss the past every time.

Don't relate your happiness with material things & other persons.

Don't repeat that mistake again, that gives you the pain.

Don't push yourself harder in indulging yourself in the activities which you don't like.

Don't surround yourself with the negative people who just touch your wound again & again.

Don't make friends who make fun of your emotions.
