To remember is a gift. It doesn't matter whether it was good or bad. There are painful memories that have shaped you or given others hope when shared.
Where does your mind dwell? Where does it gravitate to, day after day? The gift to remember is the most abused time portal used. Its misuse has caused people to wish for what they can't have, be stuck in an abused yesterday that will never happen again or stay sad because of what no longer is.
Life, the preciousness of life, is in the now, keeping in mind that the goal is to make a memory. Often, you let time slip away because your memory is consuming you.
You are charged to make new memories everyday. Each day, you should be making a new memory that counts, a memory that brings a smile to your face and to the countenance of others. Your goal should be to create many memories so that when you look back, the good outweighs the bad. Your life should be a peppered balance of memories, where those black spots are few within your salt mixture.
Learn...teach yourself to remember well, meaning don't dwell in pain. Your mind has a choice. Remember the good of a person or don't think of them at all if they have been a source of deep hurt. Remember the good about a loss one and don't dwell on their painful exit. Remember always the good because it will position you to make good memories here and now...like today.
