I came into this world backward. I then began to grow up in a backward world. The first time I saw the position I was in it made me look at the reality of myself, and the world around me. So, naturally I began to cry after taking my first trip down Memory Lane, and then my first breath. Okay, so I lost sight. Huh? What ever!
The second time I saw the position I was in, it made me see the reality of myself, and see the world as backward. I decided that I would not turn around again. So, I began to try and hold my head up. I fell and fell, then stumbled and bobbed, and began again, (after catching my breath of course). Naturally, I began to cry again after taking my second trip down Memory Lane. This time the first thing I did, was close my eyes and begin to scream! Again I lost my breath and lost sight. I then felt fear and anxiety, causing me to suffer from the insecure world and the insecure me and...Hold your breath...
The third time I opened my eyes, I was beginning to see a little clearer, not quite in focus but, workable. This was when I realized that there was no turning back! So I began to hold my head up high, causing me lose my breath from the helplessness that I felt! I let out a few tiny pleas for help. Then, I began to lose focus of Memory Lane, because it was time for dinner and Mom wasn't a very experienced cook. Not only that, I suddenly felt wet all over and really empty inside. But, experienced or not, Mom has a way of making me feel dry and full, and this helps me focus on life.
HINT: For a clear understanding; This riddle requires pure natural thinking; Use of very little reasoning; Consider it closely to get an impressionable interpretation (No logic required). I can not turn back or around but, I can learn to turn over. What is Memory Lane?
To let go of your Memory Lane, is not to adapt but, to change!
If you were born into the same world as everyone else, then you too, had a life in a day. Don't choose to have this same day throughout your life. Don't even prefer the same day! Do you desire to have simply; A day in a life, or a life in a day? Are you still packing your first day around with you? If your answer is yes, you should change your first day, for a lifetime!
I came into the world backward. I then grew up in a backward world. The first time I saw the position I was in, I looked at reality, then ran to hide.
The second time I saw the reality, and the backward conceptions and the backward interpretaions, I decided that I would not turn around again and go backward in this backward world. I wanted to go forward in a backward world!
The third time, I said, " I won't go back to the way I saw and heard to interpret things the way I did before." (This would be the same as walking backward.)
To go forward is not to rationalize by justifying but, to realize miracles and accept them and to treasure them as they are (unjustified and rational). Hold the miracle of reality, by sharing your thoughts and keeping the realizations going consistantly, continuously forward! This will enable you to realize and reognize the wonderful miracle of life.
Remember to be born.
Remember to achieve.
Remember to listen.
Remember to learn.
Remember to live.
Remember to love.

Stress management repuires not only constructive thinking but, imagination as well. Imagination is a thought in process. To stretch the imagination, is the same as opening the mind. "An open mind is a clear, creative mind."
At this time, we suggest, that you take a week or two off. During your time off, think about what you have taught yourself. It will prove useful to keep a journal to record understanding that you may arrive at during this time. While you are taking this break, pay close attention to your automatic (responsive) thought. Notice how people (coworkers-workers,family members, and even the clerk at the grocery store) present themselves. Even more important, notice how your own automatic thinking effects your presintations. This includes the handling of confrontations. Hence; Cause and Effect.
The questions previously presented, are questions that people, ordinarily, don't care or simply wouldn't bother to ask themselves. They do this mostly out of fear and denial. However, some people have probably never considered such silliness! Possibly this is the reason that riddle of life has never been completely solved.
