Mining Memories – The Tools of Memories

Memories can either be annoying or painful recollections of times and events that we would much prefer to completely erase from the whiteboard of our memories. Or they might be brazenly intrusive, throwing their images across the forefront of our minds at the most inopportune of times. And in some more soothing cases they might be calming and reassuring, providing us a point of weary refuge when our worlds turn turbulent.

Yet, are memories in reality a precious storehouse that have multiple applications and uncounted benefits? Do they keep us in touch with the past, even what that’s a bit difficult, so that the future might be wisely informed by the past? Do memories allow us to craft legacies, to build the present as informed people rather than ignorant reactionaries, and to remember that in coming from a place we are likewise going to one as well? Memories can be tremendous assets that we might want to more effectively avail ourselves of.
