Your unintentional life today is most likely a result of interpretations of stories and events from your past starting with your childhood.
How to heal from past events and transform regrets into fuel for growth
Our memories of the past are like the roots of a tree: As long as there are leaves to photosynthesize energy from the sunlight, the roots will keep growing in search for food for the leaves. Regrets are great if they lead to repentance and corrective actions, but if you are stuck repeating a negative story in your mind, your roots will only feed your future with toxicity. When you have a Purposehood Guiding Star, your memories will expand in search of positive lessons from your past.
When you recognize past events, you can identify the sources of your current nourishment and intentionally examine your memories of them. When you reflect on those memories, you can extract invaluable learnings, and you widen your views of the events themselves beyond your initial experience. By reframing those past events and extracting the lessons, you free yourself from the toxicity of negative interpretation.
The past is not fixed, it is memories written with interpretations. It is not written in ink, but scribbled with a pencil. It is not printed in a book, but drafted in a journal, so write and rewrite it to fit your future view.
