It is not the experience one remembers , but the reflection of the experience that causes one to change

Life itself is a never ending experience where pages turn as seasons go by , days turn to months that turn into years and before we know it , the end arrives . Experiences are basically a reality of life no one can deny , they make us who we are , helps us through each and every day constantly teaching us , and in the end leaving us like

a seasoned warrior . Surprisingly humans tend to forget the experiences rather they shift their focus on reflections of their past experiences . The reason for this is that , as the pages of life turns , memories fade away and become a blur on the horizon of one 's perception . The hard lesson however tend to be an internal part of the soul , and never diminishes away . They stay in that dark corner of one 's mind and control the person 's actions , plans and thought process . They remain in the dark corner until we began to reflect upon the past . Rather than remembering the experience itself , we relieve on the pain , humiliation , suffering success and lessons we learned . This stark meeting with the past enforces motives and plans in our mind at the times when we are about to abandon all hope . From that dark corner of our mind we are able to project an image of where we were in the past , where we are currently standing and where we want to be ourselves . These reflections enforce our beliefs and make us reevaluate and revive our values . They make us see , in bright lights , where we are actually standing and make us see of the path we are following to achieve our goal . This thought process reflects on our strategies in getting to our destination and can act as either a positive motivator or a dangerous depressor depending upon how we choose to see the lessons fate taught us
