Sometimes when you are joyful in your experience, you remember something unpleasant from your past. Something wrong or sinful that you did, or happened to you and then all the joy is gone. Pufff!
Now you can’t get yourself out of it. Whatever hurts you, keeps playing like a movie in your mind again and again like a loop. The fun part is that you can’t break the loop or stop it. At this stage it is tempting to forget it all.

But forgetting it won’t do any better. Like an ignorant fool you will get into the same situation once again. Once again you will hurt yourself and others. So don’t make the mistake of forgetting it.
Instead keeping it in your memories, dried up so that it won’t propagate and multiply. Keep it there so you can observe it, learn from it and avoid the same mistake again. A bad experience doesn’t have to be necessarily painful. It can provide you the best lesson in life. One that no one will ever be able to teach you.
As for the joy or happiness. It is right there, within you. If there is one thing that you can control completely is the way you experience life. Either you live happily either you live miserably. Your choice.
You will get uncomfortable situations from time to time. Situations that hurt you or make you hurt others. But instead of being stuck over them, learn from them and equip yourself to make a better future.
Don’t get stuck in the memories of a difficult time. Learn from it.
Let it go..
Live your life in happiness. That is the ultimate goal of creation.
