Life is Living in Past Memories & Future Memorables
Before we begin, let me explain two important terms used in this piece of writing. The first one is MEMORIES and the second one is MEMORABLES. The term ‘memories’ refers to all that we remember from the happenings of the past and the term ‘memorables’ refers to all that we will remember from the happenings of the future.
Living in the present simply means examining the past memories (beautiful and melancholic) and expecting the future memorables (hopeful and anxious). All that we think and do today are either reactions to the past memories or preparations for the future memorables. Thus, life becomes incessant consideration of the memories and ceaseless arrangements for the memorables. Memories are lessons and inspirations for memorables.
Memories and memorables go hand in hand with close mutuality and affinity. The quality of our past memories reflects on the quality of our future memorables. If we have more beautiful memories in the past we tend to have more beautiful memorables for the future. In the same way, unpleasant memories beget unpleasant memorables too. To reverse that natural reciprocity of negative memories and memorables, we need to learn positive lessons from negative experiences. Negative memories must be consciously processed to generate constructive understanding about them for framing positive memorables on the solid foundations of rectified awareness. Here, we purgate the negativities of the past in the furnace of the present for the positivities of the future.
Some of us feel dejected about our memories; and at the same time, some of us feel delighted about our memories. Making better memorables is the key to making better memories. We can't work on our memories as they have gone past us; but we can work on our memorables as they haven't yet gone beyond our reach. By working on our memorables, we are actually working on our memories. We work on our memories to understand them more realistically than we thought about them. So, fresh realizations of memories will change the way we look at our memorables. From the moment, memorables become memories, we lose their control forever. We may think that memorables are in our control then. Not at all. Memorables are in the future and not yet realised for us to get any hold on. Once realized, they become memories and go out of our control. What to do now?
There is a mighty harness we all keep with us to master our memories and memorables. That is the present moment we live and that we commonly call NOW and generally name TODAY. Memorables never can become Memories without passing through NOW which we have control on. When memorables pass NOW, the zone we rule, we can work on them the way we wish them to become memories. That's how we can create beautiful memories out of our memorables of any kind. Until memorables pass through NOW, we have time to work on them. We can choose if our memorables to be made positive or negative memories when they pass through the phase of NOW. NOW is our time and TODAY is our day. Hence, we can not blame anybody else for our unpleasant memories which we made by our own choices during their passage of NOW with us.
The lessons learned or the morale inspired from memories will make us efficient in dealing with our memorables to come. Negative memories must teach us to correct our memorables to make positive memories through the power of NOW in our hands. Positive memories must encourage us to refine our memorables through our skill to work on NOW. Thus, we can amass a huge stack of good or bad memories based on our choices NOW on our memorables.
NOW is the only moment when we can act upon our memorables to create memories of the kind we wish to have. More positive memories help us to have more positive memorables and more positive memorables help us to have more positive memories. They make a loop of reciprocity serving each other normally with corresponding qualities by both. A deliberate control and rework of NOW only can alter the flow either for better or for worse than it was earlier. Hence, dealing with our memorables NOW is crucial in making wonderful memories to live with.
Our regular dealing of memorables with a fair NOW will make us habitual in our making of pleasant memories. And thus, we will be able to live with stunning memories and thrilling memorables for NOW. That’s an ideal life for me anyway.
