Not only memories but the question of forgiveness is also related to this issue since we usually move on and succeed in a way or another without forgiving a person or even ourselves. This way may look the easiest and best way in moving on into the future and searching for another success which may make us forget bad or unwanted memories. At the same time we never close the circle and we keep it open, so it would bring us again into the central of a conflict which we lived in the past.

   Still it is not too late to go back and heal ourselves from something from the  past. The question is how to do this; we only need to be sure that by doing we will remove a huge fear that we are always afraid to live again and also that it is possible to gain something from this procedure. How bad could it be if we already lived this memory in the past and survived until today? And what is the outcome which we will get from such a procedure which may cost us the price of living something that affected us for a long period.

   Another way of thinking about this is to look at ourselves and ask the question: how did this event affect our life and did it invest in making us the people who live today? Our life is made of our memories and the good and bad events which we pass through. The secret is being able to learn from everything we face in life and try to get as much as we can from it whether it is a happy or a sad memory. After learning from it, we need either to forgive ourselves or forgive the person who made us feel the way we felt.

   Leadership is about the ability to forgive only to be able to move on while know-ing that we already closed one circle out of thousands which we will go through in our life. Once we learn from the memory, then we are able to forgive, it will look much better than we always thought about it. The person who you are today could not be the same if you were not to pass through every event and incident which you may consider good or bad. Therefore our memories, the happy and the sad are simply us.

   The power which you will get out of this procedure will make you keep on mov-ing and succeeding because the tools which you learn from the past will make you succeed in the present and the future. Our mind tries to convince us that we will always get the result which we got in the past. The strategy is to convince us that if we once fail we will always fail. The reason is that our mind tries to protect us from feeling the failure again by preventing us from taking the risk and trying again to achieve what we once failed in achieving. This is normal and it is the way our mind should be working because in the end it is only trying to protect us.

   However, if we completely obey what the minds tries to ask us to do, we will always be in the past and we will not have a chance to live a different life and succeed. Therefore make your first challenge, step up, and start enjoying your memories by learning from them then moving on to create memories which you will always want to remember."
