Don’t be a grave robber. Let corpses alone. In due course nature disposes of such remains, if they are left undisturbed. Every time you dig up an old grievance or an old mistake by rehearsing it in your mind or, still worse, by telling someone else about it, you are simply ripping open a grave – and you know what you may expect to find.
Live the present. Prepare intelligently for the future – and let the past alone. This is what Jesus meant when he said,… “ let the dead bury the dead. (Matthew 8:22).
Make a law for yourself today that you are not going to touch mentally any negative thing that has happened up to the present moment – and keep that law. Life is too precious for grave robbing. The past is past – liquidate it. If a negative memory comes into your mind, cremate it with the right thought (the fire of Love) and forget it.
How much happier and productive would we be if we could let sleeping dogs lie? Even so, we all have unpleasant past experiences that just seem to keep coming back no matter how hard we try to keep them in the past. The key is to replace those thoughts with another positive thought and move on. Even if we have to do this every day for the rest of our lives. It is better than dwelling on past wrongs.
One thing we should remember is that old hurts that keep coming back have never been resolved. We need to dig into such recurring negatives and critically analyze why it keeps coming back. Then we must forgive ourselves or others who caused the hurt. If we truly let go of this problem and give it to God, we should see it intruding on our present less and less.
Moving on,
