Why You Need To Love Your Past!
Only then can you have a better present and future Life.
Your past is dictating and forming your present moment experiences which are creating your future. If you don’t love or even like your past, you will never love or like your present moment and the future.
Because of our senses and the 3-dimensional reality we perceive time as linear, past, present, and future. All happening one after the other.
In actual fact time, past, present, and future are all happening at once, now! Instead of a horizontal line, imagine a verticle line with past, present, and future, all happening at once.
This is not a new thought and can be researched by following the likes of different physicists like Carlo Rovelli or even Joe Dispenza.
Close your eyes and pull up a picture of the past. Now you’re experiencing the past in the present moment. If you have a pleasant picture of the past you will be experiencing pleasant feelings and emotions and vice-versa.
You can do exactly the same with the future. Create a picture in your mind of how you would like your future to be. Now you are experiencing your future in the present moment. If you have a pleasant picture of the future you will be experiencing pleasant feelings and emotions and vice-versa.
Memories of The Past
If you keep entertaining memories of the past, in the present moment, that were good, bad, or ugly, you will be affecting your current present moment state either positively or negatively.
This type of behavior will perpetuate the same results, feelings, and emotions if you continue to practice this habit. That’s what we call our past equalling our present and future.
If you continue to go into the past, in the present moment, indulge in negative memories, and affect your current state and results, your life will never change. You will continue to perpetuate the same old stories and results.
Learn to use your present moment of the past, present, and future more wisely to create a better life for yourself and those around you.
What if you had a bad past?
In a recent workshop, Emotional Intelligence, I mentioned this same concept about time. One participant stood up and said that his past was very bad and there was no way he could ever love his past.
During our 6-day training, I invited him to participate in a “Timeline Intervention”, where we take participants on their timeline back into the past. During this intervention, they release negative emotions, get their positive learnings, and bring them into the present moment.
This is a very powerful intervention to clear up your negative past so you can create a better future.
After the Timeline Intervention of releasing negative emotions from a past event, the event still exists but the emotional charge on the event, in most cases, disappears or is dramatically reduced. That past event no longer has emotional power over you in the present moment.
After the 6 days of training, I asked him, how do you feel about his past? He said, “my past is ok, I like my past”. Then he looked at me and burst out laughing about his comment, because just a few days prior, he didn’t like his past.
I remember a conversation I was having with a lady a few years ago. I only just met her and 5 min into the conversation she started telling me about how bad her ex-husband was. He did this, he did that. She was very emotional about the whole relationship so I was thinking she must have just separated.
Then in the next breath, she told me she had been divorced for over 10 years, what the…. I thought to myself. She has carried the negative past for 10 years into her future and still talking about it.
Stop it, stop it, please don’t do that!
It’s so important that you make sure you clean up your past, release all negative emotions, get your positive learnings and bring them into the present moment.
“Life is happening for you, not to you”
When you now pull up memories of your past, in the present moment, and they are positive, eliciting positive emotions and feelings, you are in a very powerful and empowering state to create an awesome present moment and future life.
Don’t underestimate the power of your past.

Right now, as I’m writing this post, it will become a memory in the near future moment. My job is to enjoy writing the article, have fun with it, and enjoy the process and experience.
Now when I reflect on writing the article, it will be a positive past experience. A positive past experience that when I bring it up in my memory, will make me feel empowered in the present moment. You are 100% in control of creating your own memories.
Please read the following article where I demonstrate how I used present moment severe pain to create a very powerful positive memory.
