It is fascinating how time flies. As you listen to people
tell stories of their first memories and the age when they could first recall
specific moments in life and how they still remember events which may have happened over
20,30 and 40 years, it becomes amazing how much information and details our brain can hold. In modern times we like to
refer to how many gigabytes of storage a computer has, but what about the human
brain - it would certainly be the super computer of the universe with unlimited Gigabytes of storage available. We have so many memories and key events that fill our precious lives and it is truly a privilege to have the mental state and ability to recall and recount memories and events from recent and further past. We should try to ensure that the memories we have are clear and vivid. I am learning in time to flush those memories that are hurtful and unnecessary, but certainly not all the bad memories because they too have their value in our lives to remind us of lessons and learning opportunities and "school fees"and WE SHOULD NEVER feel that these situations are not meaningful and sweep them under the carpet. They form part of a very special group of memories and as long as we educate our mind not to keep dwelling on them and rather to keep them for what they are worth, then we take so much more into our lives and we become more complete people. Similarly, we owe it to ourselves to take the special times in our lives and place them in a very prominent place, so that we can access them often and let their goodness wash over us and bring about the smile and laughter, which we need to hold onto dearly and forever. Awesome single,special moments are so uplifting and we need to remember to share them with others even if they seem trivial, because they may result in another special moment for someone else. Be liberal in recalling good times and use hard times as a stepping stone to the next good time on your immediate horizon.
