The Power of Yesterday
Everything has a beginning, and the beginning of yourself started already, the proof of this beginning is your very presence and existence, if it wasn’t for your beginning then you would not be reading this article now. Everything happens for a reason, even the coincidences that you face have a cause, no matter how much irrelevant you see your reality events, they have a purpose which will be clear to you sooner or later. Many population agree that past is a flipped page and that no importance must be given to it, on the other side of the coin, some others believe that past holds a wiser meaning and wiser understanding of the present. Let's clarify that today will be tomorrow’s past, and tomorrow our present will be past; here is the power of yesterday.
Starting with the technicalities of the word yesterday, the word yesterday is derived from the German gestern (the last day/day before today). Imagine using this word to refer to other periods such like: yesteryear, yesterweek, yesterdecade, etc…
To start with, something that took place in the past is automatically transformed into a fact, you can not change nor play with it. It differs from the reality you live in the present, the reality can be challenged and changed however a fact can never be altered. Lets take an example: if you broke a jar yesterday, no matter how much you try to avoid breaking it is gonna be useless, you will have to cope with the fact that the jar is broken, the only thing you can do in the present is try to compensate the loss of the jar by your own means. Enough said the effect of the past overwhelmed the present reality.
Let's move on the a second point: Understanding present. The very reality you live in and fight for, was derived from actions that took place in the past, actions that were happening and developing in a certain pattern in the past blended in a way or another so that today you are seeing what you see and living what you live. If today you are a pilot is because of the studies and certifications you achieved on your past, those certifications were achieved after you exhausted yourself and fought to have them under your belt in a further past, the same sequence goes on and on into your past till you reach the very first day your eyes witnessed light after being born. Still underestimating past???
Moving to the third point, you are here today because of what you have done, not because of what you are doing, remember that what you are doing will definitely impact where you are going to be, however that has to be with the future which is unknown yet, the unbeatable facts and information always will belong to your past which can not be changed.
At the end of the day, we have a time spectrum which combines past with present and future. Extremism is never a solution, we must balance between present, past and future. It is relevant to consider taking into consideration the three timings while arranging your life, however focus on your past as it may hold bigger solutions than you might expect.
