Have you ever thought what happens when we watch the same old movie again and again?

We might remember every dialogue, scene, characters, emotions etc. with much clarity. But does it add any new meaning or perspective every time you see it???

On the contrary, what will happen when you watch a new movie? You are exposed to newer perspectives, newer story, newer interpretations.

Same could apply in our real life too.

We are struck in an infinite loop of ‘Play-Stop-Replay’ of our very own life historical episodes of criticism, painful moments, unpleasant events, uncomfortable situations, hurtful people, etc.

This drags us deep down into never ending feeling of misery and sufferings.

Can we overcome this? Yes.

Start consciously viewing your life’s old episodes with new perspective and see the changes happening in your life.

For instance, you were criticized by your parents or teacher in your childhood that you are not good enough or you are a failure.

Today, you can consciously choose to view the same situation differently.

For example, the teacher or parents may have disagreed with you, but it was not about your overall intelligence but rather a difference of perspective/thinking.

We can always think about the learnings out of any such instances.

We are what we repeatedly do!  Hence, create and paint a positive mental picture everyday so that it becomes a habit and part of you.
