The present we live in creates memories - good and bad. There may be good memories and often we also have our fair share of bad memories.
When we carry forward our past experiences into the present and allow them to trespass also into the future ... we unknowingly , let them encumber our thinking and burden our decisions . Thus we lose our ability to take fair decisions 'Mindfully' when we carry the burden of our past legacy and allow it to destroy our neutral thinking .
Do not carry the burden of your past on your shoulders and build a factory of toxins within you . The consequences can only destroy you.
