Can we change our past? Most of us would answer an emphatic ‘No’ to this question. We have always been told that our past can never be changed.
But this particular quote by the great Richard Bach got me thinking.
You are always free to change your mind and choose a different future, or a different past.
Choose a different past, really? What made Richard Bach write that? I thought.
Further research made me smile. I got my answer! Bach was right! Our past can really be changed. I learnt that our past is energy and made up of our experiences…of what we have gone through in our private world. If we change the way we look at our past, our past will take a different shape… thereby liberating us in our present and changing our future for better.
Even if two people were a part of the same incident, their perspective about it would differ from each other. Past is a variable…If it was invariable, every person in a particular time and place would have undergone exactly the same kind of emotions, same sort of feelings and level of trauma. But everyone has a different past. You and your sibling’s past could be similar but not same!
I learnt that our past can be changed by changing our perspective towards it, through creativity, positivity and visualization of the event. It can be changed through different ways, which you can read in this inspiring post here. (http://simonarich.com/change-your-past)
Dear confidantes, if something about your past is troubling you, take this journey – Go back in time, look at the incident as an observer and try to help your ‘stuck’ self there by being positive and strong. Tell yourself – you will emerge stronger after this! Be creative and strong as you live through it!
We derive strength from our past when we have a grim present…why not the other way round? Everything is possible!
We are always free to change our mind and choose a different future, or a different past.

Very right, our past is an excellent teacher and it’s up to us to learn from it to help shape our present and future. Reset of past will take away the experience and learning.
