Memory is useful because it gives us a sense of continuity. But memory is also imprisoning because it conditions us in predictable ways.
Deepak ChopraImagine for a moment your own version of a perfect future. See yourself in that future with everything you could wish for at this very moment fulfilled. Now take the memory of that future and bring it here into the present. Let it influence how you will behave from this moment on.
