To a certain extent, we all tend to remember what we want.
Real briefly, in an attempt to test your memory, give the capital cities for the following ten states:
1-Oregon 2-Maine 3-Mississippi 4-Ohio 5-North Dakota 6-Texas 7-Vermont 8-Kansas
9-Missouri 10-Louisiana. (The answer key is below my name).
Now,
if you are an adult, don’t feel embarrassed if you struggled to recall
something we all knew in our youth. Look on the bright
side,
when I did a self-test on all fifty states I only got twenty four correct. Despite the fact we all grow up learning the
capitals of all fifty states our memories tend to fail us at times.
Memories
are a funny thing, they tend to come and go, especially when it comes to
things we don’t discuss on a daily basis. However, if you
are like me, we tend to remember the bad stuff, like the wrongs others have
done to us. Then if we dwell on these bad memories long enough in time
they can turn into hard feelings.
Since
this is the beginning of the New Year, I thought it best to encourage
you to leave the past behind you. Well, at least as best you can.
Remember,
each day is brand new and life is too short to dump yesterday’s garbage all over it.
In life, when it comes memory, focus real briefly on the bad and long and hard on the good.
