Nobody is immune from past experiences which have been unpleasant. When you happen to face those people involved in your past experiences , it triggers strong feelings within you. What does it tell you? It reaffirms that you haven’t let go the past. You have to recognize that today is a new day, and you are starting a new page. You haven’t yet let go of disappointments, hurts and grievances you hold against yourself, other people and the world! 

These negative emotions are messengers to you telling you that you are still carrying old baggage and you have unhealed parts in your being waiting to be healed. It’s like you wanting to go forward in life with one foot on the brakes. In order to be free, you must learn how to let go. Release the hurt. Release the fear. Refuse to entertain your old pain. The energy it takes to hang onto the past is holding you back from a new life. Your journey will be lighter and easier if you don’t carry your past. Decide to face your pain. Find the courage to revisit all the pain. Accept there’s nothing you can do to change the past. What’s happened has happened, and what’s done is done. But you can change how you think, and you can start over again, and build a different future that’s not poisoned by the past. Pay attention to these messengers and get your unhealed parts of yours healed.
