Time travel is impossible in a world that is preoccupied with the present and future living. What life may appear in ten or fifteen years or beyond? What plan will I execute today that will change the compass of life? Clueless of what's going on enables one to reminisce and daydream forward. Going back or beyond the present time gives a glimpse of a meaningful journey of existence. When life's ups and downs knock you out, it is not a punitive reaction but to awaken from a deep slumber of an impossible dream or maybe a worst nightmare. Reflecting on the past and future is a powerful tool for personal growth and understanding.
A 'big bang' once changed my life like a poke in the head. That was intense and painful beyond the physical level- a different spiritual awakening ever! I couldn't resist, but to follow the inner compass -- a trusted barometer of life's goal and a future self. As I was saved from the fiery place, it was a significant redirection, like an instant decision without a doubt. The 'big bang' that saved me, no matter how painful it has been, may also be the 'big bang' that will help transform others in their own ways; inspiring them to make wise decisions without guilt and take bold actions that are mighty. No matter what life hits us, it always depends on how we react and accept that we are vulnerable to untoward decisions resulting from faulty thoughts.
Going back in time, one realizes one's potential and lives his most extraordinary life because of the right choices and no blockages. As smooth as it flows, life has moved as fast and furious as there's no way of turning back. It was the best way of reaching ahead as fast as possible -- no distractions and defying limitations. Reaching the peak has some valleys that are tricky to navigate. Lost along the way may be challenging, but regaining oneself gave a hard lesson not really to follow a 'fast but sure' policy, but one's own pace of living.
Back in the days when life seemed rough, it gave me the courage to become braver and live in the present time. This is the moment in time that is more realistic, providing less stress than dwelling on the past and a future dream that is overwhelming. As I turn back time, it creates either wonderful or sorrowful memories that may be carried over merit to the present and the future. The past may be ignored. However, it could be the key to understanding the present reality. Having been somewhere doesn't mean the end of further exploration of what more it has to offer. One has to come back numerous times and enjoy a different perspective of living, learning from each experience.
The circle of life is a fantastic journey of giving in and giving up. Giving in to right thinking and decisions and giving up to unwanted thoughts and impulsive actions. By returning time, I recall the good and the bad days where I learned and persevered. Keeping the challenge helps to correct and improve the knots; when untangled, it becomes a linear direction one has to go through. Reliving memories creates a nostalgic experience; in those times, we learn to grow and become better than ever. The circle of life is terrific, and the experience of turning back time is meaningful and blissful not only in the present but for a lifetime.
