"The past is a place to learn from, not to live in/" - Anonymous
The inspiration for this print comes from two different six-year olds.
Oneday my six-year old granddaughter saw her parents arguing and pointing fingers at each other. As adults we keep living in the past and tailor our behaviour based on past incidents.
She listened for a few minutes and then said calmly, "Don't live in the past!"
I was blown away by the wisdom of these words.
The other story is about a six-year old child of a friend. Children love to swing things without taking note of the objects pr people that may be in their trajectory.
As he was swinging his toy around, by mistake he hit his grandfather.
The grandfather explained to him calmly to be more careful before he starts swinging things around.
The next day the grandfather thought he should reinforce the teaching from the day before. As the child proceeded to pick up toys, The grandfather reminded him of the incident of the previous day.
The child calmly said, "That was yesterday. Past is past!"
How true! Instead of living in the present moment, we spend much of our time living either in the memories of the past or living in the imagined future.
Hanging on to the past ruins our present relationships apart from constantly reminding us of the hurt we felt. It's best to let go and move on.
