The Beauty of Psychology.

Just want to share a piece of inspiration I learned from my Abnormal Psychology teacher Prof. Yusof Indin.

Never dwell in the past for in the past. regret,guilt,anger,pain, and sadness are the only emotions found in the past.

Never look forward the future so much for Exitement is never always good for you. It brings about Anxiety and stress.

In the present, no past nor future exist. the present is the most important thing.For in the present, happiness exist.

Happiness in the context of the past is a sort of illusion. A feeling you want to experience again. And dwelling here would only lead to regret or sadness for not being in the state of happiness in the present while reminiscing the past happiness.

Happiness in the context of the future is somewhat ambitious. A big wat if. this big question of what if is the main reason for anxiety to take place and bring stress to your life. And could also be the source of regret or disappointment if this expectation of happiness fails to materialize.

Stay in the Present. Keep what makes you happy in the present. The human mind is not supposed to be used to dwell on something that is not beneficial to the well being of a person.

The beauty of the human mind is so amazing to be wasted...Only mankind was given the chance to think and comprehend. But its a waste to see mankind waste the power of such a beautiful mind.

"Think Beyond"

Learn from the past. Hope for the Future. But always live for the present.

you don't need an abnormal psych teacher to tell you that, julz.. but to simply put things in perspective, it is not that the most important is the present over the other two, but rather, there should exist a balance of the three.. staying too much in the "now" or the present can sometimes lead you around in circles if you do not know where you've been (past) and where you intend to go (future).. no single person can exist without the three.. and simply focusing on the present will not get you very far..

the past, present or future are all merely measuring devices that will help you determine where you are in your life.. what is important, my dear cousin, is that you have LIVED!!
