Past Files Registry

April 15, 2019

According to a popular notion, everything you do is engraved in your personal history, so to speak. It defines who you are, who you are perceived to be and the distance between those two and your very personal idea of who you are (which might be completely different than the other two) creates the measure of your Success and Happiness. In other words, the greater the distance between these points, the greater your Failure in whatever you are pursuing and the greater your disappointment daily.

Well, I have good news for you: None of that matters too much. And despite the good news, you surely noticed I said ‘not too much’. Indeed, one has to admit that some of our past experiences, choices and sometimes random events (are they really random?) are of great significance since they shape not only our personal history (some wouldn’t care about that anyway) but rather who we become in essence! And the essence of human beings can change over time, through altering experiences…

Therefore, it might be beneficial to initiate those changes and new experiences yourself, before life starts throwing them as obstacles on your path. ‘Starting new’ at ANY point you choose, is not only possible but highly recommended if you have any intentions of reaching greater heights. Mind you, your personal history (unlike the one in your PC or tablet) can never be fully erased, no matter how insignificant or full of failure it may seem. Fortunately, you can make it irrelevant once you commence a new cycle of Life, full of daring, discovery and delight, just as you did during your early childhood years…

In a pretty similar fashion, a triumphant personal history can also mean nothing as long as continuous success and happiness are concerned. What you accomplished at earlier stages, even many times over enjoying winning results, will not be perpetuated forever, I assure you. Your ability to interpret your past in a successful way is more of a guarantee for future success than what you actually DID in the past. This explains why monstrous companies and investment groups show a downward sparrow despite huge current profits and a rich history of successful milestones, as the until now unknown and eccentric entrepreneur kills the market in 2 years, cashes out (in various different ways) and either buys a private island to retire in his/her mid-40’s or re-invests the profits in something that is considered crazy (at the moment..) The absence of personal history, tradition and the heaviness resulting from it, acts as a freedom-generator, catapulting the rocket (business vehicle) and its passengers (investors) to Success.

We live in times were everything is recorded and stored somewhere through a camera, internet or authority. It should be the era where personal history and the Past matter the most. And yet they don’t as proven by the numerous success models created next door, overnight! If you are seriously asking yourself ‘how come?’, you are on the right track already… and you should keep going.
