When I thought about the topic of Memory, I immediately thought of the movie Momento. This movie in a nutshell, Leonard is troubled with extreme short term memory loss after the murder of his wife. He remembers his life by taking polaroids of important people and things in his life and by getting tattoos of his most important thoughts. The movie is filmed in reverse, where the first scene is actually the last fame of the movie and we unravel the mystery throughout the movie.

I love this movie for several reasons but the one I’d like to share is the idea that our memories make us who we are and that what we remember really affects what we become in the future. If you only remember the bad times and the hurtful times and the angry times then that is what you are going to become.

Don’t allow yourself to have selective memory.

Bad stuff happens to everyone and we have all been let down at one point or another in our lives but to give up writing because of a few back reviews or to stop trying to grow your business because you didn’t get the client you wanted is not the way to move forward.

Choose to remember the good times.

Remember the way it felt when you stepped out onto the stage and everyone cheered for you! Remember the first time your daughter smiled at you! Remember the first dollar you made in your own business!

Keep a good mix of the good and bad memories because both will remind you to be the best person you can be and to remember those times that you were the best and how great that felt.
