Fascinating Search;The Power Of Memories

Master  Your  Memories

There are lots of people who mistake their imagination for their memory. ~Josh Billings

Memories are the fingerprints of our experiences on our mind, trapping enormous power  in them.They are the hidden filing  cabinets of our journey in life.Yet we seldom pay attention to how we tuck away our memories.We constantly  bury deep emotional associations with those files.And the bland truth is this;as time goes by,we stack up  more and more in our silent warehouse of memories.Here everything is  coloured and textured by an invisible cloud of emotions.   

And so.

They return to us magnified manifold.Memories have the potential to encourage us,embolden us and offer that critical impetus for success and fulfillment.But the interesting aspect we gloss over is that we ourselves are responsible for how we file our memories.And what emotional associations we make with them at the time of filing.

Once we become master of our memories ,we can leverage their power to shape our destinies.We can learn to stop projecting  dis empowering experiences into the future.

With memories, we are lucky and unlucky, simultaneously.That’s because when we feed ourselves with great memories, and retrieve them habitually, we embolden ourselves.But when we do the opposite we actually strap up for  an unpleasant drive,mostly hurtling downhill.

Perhaps the best cleansing action is to question our tendency of creating negative memories.This exercise truly brings the power of our memories to the forecourts of our mind.Yet it's worth our time only when we consciously  deliberate on each question,one after the other.
