Okay this is for all you techie guys and girls out there. We all download crap from the internet, we all save things that at one time or another seemed super important. The reality of it is that in most cases those things that held value for us end up being totally useless and simply a waste of space. Even when we decide to get rid of them we simply just put them into the recycling bin, fooling ourselves into believing its now gone forever, but it isn't. It stays there in a limbo still affecting the performance of your computer, still bogging you down due to the extra space it's taking up then could better be afforded to new things. Anyone getting the metaphor yet? Good! Life is going to make you think there are so many moments, memories, and events worth saving, worth downloading into a permanent part of your memory. The reality is that as time moves on and life continues to take you down it's path these things that at one point in time seemed so important become nothing more than items that are slowing you down. You might go ahead and decide to delete them from your mind, choose to make the effort to delete them or forget about them. The truth is...that's simply not possible. You may forget, you may forgive, but that memory is etched into your mind. Until you address it completely it will bog you down, hold you back, and dictate your life moving forward. These are real problems. I wish I could tell you I know the answer to this conundrum... I don't. I'm sorry. This is what I do know, 90% of my own arguments are based solely on a reaction to someone or something someone said. So instead of reacting I take a breath, I step outside myself and evaluate what is occurring. Not all the time. I'm sure there are and will continue to be moments where I make a total fool of myself. Where i expose my true ability to be the guy who doesn't have a filter inside his brain. I'm okay with that, because I'm still me. Remember you can never permanently delete the memories, moments, or events that occurred in your past. If you continue to allow them to effect your decisions in the present and the future you will learn very quickly you have not completely moved past them. Leave a Reply. |
