THE THOUGHTS OF THINKING ABOUT THE PAST AND STILL HOLDING UNTO IT AND REACTING WITH IT

Being humans that we are , we all do have history and experiences from the past right from when we were born till now, we all do have different phases to life and the circumstances that call for this are of different kinds but, one way or the other we do have our different life experiences and some are good and wonderful, some are mild and some are very bad, that its difficult to forget and some of us hold unto this past experiences and wallow in them and we allow it to affect the present life in which we live in, thereby holding grudges with the past. Experience as they say, is a good and probably the best teacher, it is a special cane which makes you learn and use the incident that brought about that experience as a tool for caution and a tool for bringing awareness to others, for them to know what life is all about and som people express this experiences in different ways through movies,music,comedy and other means of communications.

: Reacting with experiences

Life is full of challenges and sometimes its good to have them because they are lessons of life which carry us along, but some people hold unto this and refuse to let go and use it as a yardstick to vindicate other people who come across their part, especially someone who has been in a very bad relationship and having come out of it, most times have the thought that all are bad, just like some women will say men are bad because of what she went through in her last or previous relationships, forgetting that everybody is not and can never be the same, for the fact that you had bad experience with the previous person is not a criteria for same experience with your new acquaintance the reason being that our upbringing, orientation, background and ways we were individually brought up has never been and will never be the same which brings about changes in people and character differences.

Whatever life has presented in the past either good or bad should never be a yardstick for reaction towards the present negatively or towards whomever we come across in the future, for life has to continue. we should use our experiences as a lesson or means of caution for future occurrences. we should focus on the present and the future and hope for better life and not keep feeling bad about what happened months and years ago and letting it affect our new friends and acquaintances or whomever we are dealing with.

WHAT ARE YOUR BEST HOBBIES

I WAS WITH A GROUP OF FRIENDS AND WE WERE HAVING FUN AND DISCUSSING, AND I GOT UP AND ASKED ,COULD ANYONE HERE TELL ME WHAT THEY ARE GOOD AT DOING?, AT DIFFERENT TIMES IN THERE LIVES AND AT DIFFERENT POINT IN TIME?,ONE OF THEM SAID HE LIKES PLAYING GAMES,AND THE OTHER SAID HE LIKE’S BINGO AND ONE SAID HE LIKES LISTENING TO MUSIC AND ONE SAID HE LIKES WALKING ON THE ROAD IN THE EVENING’S BECAUSE IT HELPS TO LOOSE WEIGHT AND ONE SAID WHAT HE LIKES MOST IS EATING ESPECIALLY SNACKS AT INTERVALS,THEN A FRIEND SAID TO ME YOU ARE ASKING ALL THIS QUESTIONS,NOW YOU TELL US WHAT YOU LIKE DOING THE MOST OR WHAT YOU ARE GOOD AT DOING?.

HMMMMMM,WELL!,WHAT I WOULD SAY I AM GOOD AT DOING IS THIS:

EXERCISES: I LIKE DOING A LOT OF EXERCISES,ESPECIALLY WHEN I WAKE UP FIRST THING IN THE MORNING AND I ALSO LIKE GOING FOR A WALK IN THE EVENING, WHICH PUTS MY WEIGHT IN PLACE.

EATING: I LIKE EATING GOOD AND HEALTHY FOOD AND AVOID EATING FATTY FOOD

SLEEPING: I LOVE SLEEPING BECAUSE,I BELIEVE GOOD SLEEP GIVES GOOD HEALTH,ENERGY AND VITALITY TO THE BODY AND I TRY MY BEST TO HAVE ENOUGH SLEEP,NO MATTER WHAT MY SCHEDULE IS WHICH IS WHY, I TRY TO SLEEP EARLY MOST TIMES.

TEACHING: ANOTHER THING I LOVE DOING IS ADVISING AND TEACHING MY FRIENDS,CLOSE ASSOCIATES AND YOUNGER ONES FROM MY LITTLE EXPERIENCE ,BECAUSE I BELIEVE “FROM THE ABUNDANCE OF EXPERIENCES OF LIFE” YOU CAN TEACH OTHERS,SO THEY CAN LEARN FROM IT AND USE IT AS A YARDSTICK FOR THEIR ACTIONS AND MOTIVES IN WHATEVER THEY ARE PLANNING OR WANTING TO DO.
