"What you perceive as future is an intrinsic part of your state of consciousness now. If your mind carries a heavy burden of past, you will experience more of the same"Today I spoke with someone who was very opinionated and basically criticizing what I'm trying to do to help myself through a difficult time. I am trying to learn that everyone is entitled to their own beliefs and way of thinking; my problem is when they are telling me - giving unsolicited advice.
That's a whole other ball of wax, however I'm trying to stay in the moment; I am burdened by a conversation that happened 6 hours ago; likely I'll keep replaying it tomorrow and the next as well.
In that last statement, I am setting up my future and reliving the past. Right now, there are so many other experiences. And instead of going over the conversation in my mind and picking apart all the inaccuracies, I can just focus on...I'm annoyed, or discontented, or troubled. And accept that is how I'm feeling, knowing that it will pass.
