Backwards Or Forwards?

Much of what we experience in life often can not be grasped directly in its meaning for our fate. Some things become clear to us only in retrospect and illuminate the actual dimension. These could have been encounters with special people that gave us new impulses and impressed us so deeply that it actually did something with us that would not have happened without them or perhaps we had drastic experiences, which in retrospect brought us a good understanding of our own life plan. These could have been bad luck or danger, but also luck or a career jump to the top.

Whatever we experience shapes us in a certain way. However, we are not really sure how much it affects us in the presence of this experience. It usually takes the time factor to be clear.

When we do the famous retrospective in old age, we are often amazed at how good things sometimes went wrong or something very unpleasant became the very first rung on the stepladder to the very best that could ever happen to us. Life is not exactly running and even in its trials and tribulations is only to some extent plannable for all people.

The unplanned, what we encounter, however, is exactly the moment of tension that characterizes human life in a special way. Being able to adequately respond to the spontaneous, unexpected and sudden needs a good deal of mental clarity and sobriety. Sometimes, however, life requires us to have wit, humor, greatness, or generosity to cope well with a fate.

It is a mistake to believe that we alone set our own tasks in life and choose them alone. If that were the case, we would not experience accidents or all the strange situations that put us in a state of frustration, shock or even excitement. The positive one may like to plan but the negative, difficult happens for one reason:

We are students on this earth, are challenged as such and have to use our talents for it.

How to live life

Unfortunately, the secretive relationships of their own lives often become more and more clear to most people when they get older. Some subtle events may and may never really be understood. One must live life forward, even if one first understands it backwards.

In this circumstance, which we are all subject to, there are not only errors, hassles, exertions, and inconveniences hidden, but, above all, there are great opportunities to mature in them.

What helps us more to have a stable personality than just those tasks that take us to our own borders. If we always knew in advance what will blossom in the future, that would be a great burden for many people, which could make them tired or despondent in advance.

It is good that we do not know it but can continue to trust that we are all usually given enough strength to solve the problems that are at stake. However, they are not available for free. Most of us often have to do a lot or a lot for it. You have to make an effort and overcome to achieve this or that personal goal.

It seems a wonderful world wisdom behind it, that we do not lose courage despite many setbacks in life, but always draw ourselves in our human mentality on the head from the swamp of life again. Also to realize that life is by no means just a swamp, but there is also wonderful paradise to be found around there, which, however, wants to be conquered again and again by all of us.

However, the wise will not look back on life in their old age, but will start the interim review early on. They have the advantage, because much that is astonishing and wants to be noticed, is formerly available to reason, which may then also proliferate with this valuable pound.

The fact is, only the one who understands the past, will be able to move forwards...
