Letting Go of the Past Is in your Best Interest

Do you know that your brain has neurological pathways that store your past memories which are composed of images, sounds, words and emotions? (The Brain From Top To Bottom). Yes, it is true and scientifically proven by Neurologists. Your memory has been built during your childhood days growing up while interacting with your external surroundings. So that means every good memory and bad memory has a neurological pathway stored in your brain. Why am telling you this? Well according to that fact, what I am trying to tell you is that your behavior and personality is shaped and controlled by these neurological pathways. Stemming from these stored memories your conscious reasoning gives birth to your opinions, philosophies and beliefs about what you perceive life to be. Your current beliefs and opinions about anything in life may not be based on truth because it may be adopted from someone else learned opinion or what you observed and experienced in the past which all maybe entirely false. Basically what I am saying is that you are living life now based upon the stored emotions, images, words and sounds acquired in the past but you are not aware of it because it happens so fast. A Stimulus from the external world and a response from your neurological pathways or memory bank happens so quick sometimes you cannot be aware of it. That is the reason why we comment on some of our behaviors as happening spontaneously or unconsciously.
Using your mental ability of Self-Awareness you can identify limiting beliefs and mental patterns stored within your mind and reprogram it with success principles based on truth.

I would like to live you all to ponder upon this old zen story:

Muddy Road

Tanzan and Ekido were once travelling together down a muddy road. A heavy rain was still falling.

Coming around a bend, they met a lovely girl in a silk kimono and sash, unable to cross the intersection.

"Come on, girl," said Tanzan at once. Lifting her in his arms, he carried her over the mud.

Ekido did not speak again until that night when they reached a lodging temple. Then he no longer could restrain himself. "We monks don't go near females," he told Tanzan, "especially not young and lovely ones. It is dangerous. Why did you do that?"

"I left the girl there," said Tanzan. "Are you still carrying her?"
