From the mind of critic: “If life is a series of moments, snapshots frozen in time that portray good times and bad, are our days more fulfilling if we keep them at the forefront of our mind? Do we hang onto the good moments and let go of the bad, because we’ll feel more empowered if we’re not stuffed to the gills with negativity? Do we hang onto the good, but hang onto the bad much harder, because we don’t comprehend the definition of empowered, due to the sheer volume of negativity that has permeated our every nook and cranny, making us feel like it’s what we deserve? Or do we let go of the bad, but cling to the good with such ferocity, that it dupes us into believing all our good days are behind us, practically ensuring no good days come in the future? We’ve all heard it said many times to not sweat the small stuff, and pay attention to the bigger picture. At some point in our life we come to realize, that it’s the little things that make life worth living. The idea is that it’s the little things that make up the bigger picture, and we musn’t cling to good things with all our might as we discard the bad. We must recognize the good for the purpose they serve or served, and then let them go. This is when the next step of having good moments flow in and out comes in. Which can only happen if we don’t cling to the good moments we’ve had, thinking they wont happen anymore. And it certainly won’t happen if we hold onto the bad moments, thinking we’re undeserving of good ones. If we want to continously fill up with fulfilling and soul rejuvinating joy, we have to keep our eyes on what’s in front of us, not just what’s behind us. Our life becomes infintely more fulfilling, once we realize the best things are yet to come” 🙂
