TIME TRAVEL into past…?
If you could TIME TRAVEL and go in past ,which one thing would you change?
Well, I’m sure you were able to think of something or the other , of more than one perhaps…
The need to change something of past, comes from the fact that currently , something is not working the way you want it to..!
Haven’t you felt this that many a times you look back and say -That because some xyz shit happened ,you’re in a better place ,thus eradicating your chances of saying you could have changed that xyz shit…!
However, incidents which could be a physical trauma or mental or death etc, are definitely excluded from this discussion.
I love to explain it via a running example.
When in morning I go for a RUN to the park ,the gleam in the eyes of the old, is an eye opening one!Because apart from appreciation ,there’s this feeling of helplessness that due to the old age they can’t do it anymore ,life has changed it course . When you’re young the world seems to spin around you, as you age ,still the physical body bears all the shit you do to it…until one day! One day comes when you see a young person run ,and in your vents the voice ” I wish…”
Now imagine, you time traveled and are into this moment ,and have the opportunity to tell yourself to get outta bed and Run or workout or do yoga…! Would you ? The future you (old one full of regrets) confronts you, Would you do the change where you have to leave your lethargy of the “I’m too busy for taking care of my body..” You have time traveled , are you going to make a different choice ?
It is not limited to health but to every aspect , Job , Life ,Relationship,Spending Time with a loved one…..
Well as for myself ,I’m working on my mindset. There have been such horrendous experiences and I w’d never wish them upon anyone ,yet I say that I don’t regret. I have promised myself that I take Responsibility Of my LIFE of my NOW , and I’ll make this life into a wonderful one that when I look back I can say , thank goodness you happened you deepshit!,because you made me ,who I am today!
Furthermore,this is mindset is my constant work on myself with awareness and clarity . In understanding how mind works. The mind seeks satisfaction in past ,a sense of pleasure in changing the inevitable(past), because that damn thing can’t be changed! We as humans love the comfort to sulk into ‘not’doing’ which is the past ,since present requires action ,doing ,whereas PAST requires dwelling! It requires COURAGE to say I’m RESPONSIBLE for whatever the hell happened and in the same way I’m responsible for what happens NOW (which turns into future) ..Are you that TENACIOUS to accept this?
To wrap up, yes I wish for you to become responsible for your present ,this,this moment .What you could have changed is irrelevant because you can’t ,why not train the mind so you speculate only in present ,because once present is taken care of,Future takes care of itself
Allow your time travel to be this moment ,and at least be responsible for your Health , Your body ….else when you’re old , be bold enough to remind yourself of this moment where you read an article by a naive ,and laughed it away!

5 年I wouldn't change anything because I would not be who I am. In fact, I might even end up worse.

5 年If you allow me! I liked your today philosophiy on life! My oppinion: I belive in the Latin saying CARPE DIEM! The past, with all his, cannot be changed... You vainly return in the past. Why for? It is a sure disease, you’ ll make to yourself.The mind must be train so you speculate only present. Once present is taken care of, FUTURE takes care of itself...The past damn thing can’ t be changed! Don ‘ t return in the past, it is a time loseing...
