"I promise myself...to forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future."
We are always taught to remember the past and learn from our mistakes. While that is true to learn from past experiences and do better the next time, it is also causing people to focus too much on the past. People live with worry, regret, and a desire to change what has been done. The reality is that you cannot change what has happened. Sometimes the past hurts, but it's done and gone now. Working to try and change the path is a battle you will lose no matter how hard you try. It will just cause you to live a life of sadness and anger.
"Trying to change the past is a battle which only leads to more pain, despair and unhappiness. It simply cannot be won and leads you away from true personal happiness." - RL
In my past post about how you should Finish Your Day, I talk about the importance of accepting what has happened and looking at tomorrow as a new day full of adventure and life. Living in the past causes you to miss out on what is happening to you now. So end your day, forgive yourself and those who caused you pain, learn from the mistake, and accept it. Then go on to tomorrow and live YOUR life!
