The Past is Passed

I am sure there are physiological reasons the eyes of a human are placed in front of their head.

Many animals have the same physical set up as we do; and then again, just as many don’t. Nature most likely had a grand plan and made the decision based on hunting purposes or protection from predators.

When it came to us, I think nature came through with a completely different reason.

I think it is because people should always be looking forward in their life and not back in time. We need to direct our attention to the greatness that is about to happen versus focus on any history of negativity.

Which is why I believe “The Past is Passed”.

Yesterday is gone. The times of old can be reflected on, but not dwelled upon. I am certain a higher power specifically placed them in the front and up high on your head to strategically steer us along the path of possibilities.

If you consider the real Game of Life, a second turn is achievable. Forfeiting a turn is sometimes inevitable. Winning and losing alternate as life goes on. You can change course, make a move that draws surprise and even wipe your opponent out.

But, one thing that is absolutely impossible in this Life Game, is going back spaces. You never roll the dice in life and find yourself going back in time. Changing history is not an option. Therefore, those eyes facing forward are your internal compass to let go of the memories that no longer serve you.

Of course you should reminisce of the good old days, keeping the thoughts of lost loved ones and great experiences dear to your heart. But, once you have reflected on these ancient times, direct your attention to the future. Maintain an optimistic outlook.

Move on knowing The Past is Passed.
