Bitter memories of the past often give up pain, regrets and deep sorrow in the mind. Sometimes someone’s cheating, missing an opportunity, failure in examination, or any private tragedy – all these are the points in life that can break a person. But have you ever thought that the same events, which were ever a heavy burden for you, can become the biggest inspiration of your life today? In the present time, when talking openly on mental health, then it is important to understand that our past experiences only give us pain, but if the right perspective, then this experience can also resolve us to move forward.
Identify the strength of bitter memories
Many times the failures, taunts, neglect or painful experiences in our life have lit a different fire within us. For example, when a student fails in the board exam, that experience probably breaks him from inside. But if he takes him as a challenge, the next time he works doubled and the result can change completely. Similarly, the person can break the deception in a relationship, but he can give him the courage to become self -reliant, love himself and re -decorate his life.
Make the past a teacher, not a prisoner
Many experts believe that instead of suppressing bitter experiences, one should learn from them. Psychologists say that those who run away from their past repeatedly lose in the same streets. But those who analyze those experiences recognize their inner depths and gather the strength to get out of there. Here an old saying sits accurate: “The past cannot be erased, but it can be given direction.”
Bad experiences changed the lives of many great people
Look at Mahatma Gandhi. The experience of getting out of train in South Africa became the turning point of his life. From there, the feeling of fighting against injustice arose within him.
APJ Abdul Kalam’s childhood was spent in poverty, but the same struggle made him the ‘missile man’ and president of the country.
Many writers, artists and entrepreneurs are inspiring the world by turning the suffering of their past into writing, art and new ideas.
How to make bitter memories of inspiration?
Accept: First of all, accept that experience, do not run away from it.
Identify emotions: Anger, sorrow, regrets – Feel whatever feelings are there and start the process of leaving.
Learn Remove: Think what that experience taught you? Are you strong today?
Set the goal: Turn the pain of the past into a goal. For example, if someone has called you weak, then make yourself so strong that the world should see.
Make a story: Make your experience your story – a story that inspires others as well.
Bitter memories cannot be erased, but their effect can be changed. Memories that once brought tears to the eyes can change your character, self -confidence and attitude over time. The pain that you ever considered misfortune can become the biggest ‘turning point’ of your life – if you want, so whenever a sad experience of the past emerges in your mind, do not panic. Look at it as an opportunity – like a learning that is preventing you from falling out, not from falling.
