We struggle to move from the past and make peace with the past a lot of the time.
We allow the person we have been to rule and over power the person we are today...
We fear change so much that it blurs sight of any type of happiness we might threaten to feel. The past can be a hindrance to reaching your goals and living your dreams. The past has a way of paralysing your sense of self worth. It forces you to pass the harshest judgement unpon yourself. The past will strangle the greatness that is in you and suffocate the thoughts you have of a beautifully bright future.
You are not your past... Yes you may have done or said things that may have left you feeling hollow... But there is a deeper reason why you did what you did and swayed to the so called "bad decisions" in your life... It had to be done... It had to be done for you needed to take from it a lesson to equip yourself with the knowledge and wisdom you will need to tackle your today and direct you path for tomorrow.
Accept the past for what it is for it will never return... You just give it life and glory when you let it defeat you! You allow it to dictate your present life...
If you think about driving.... Its impossible to see where you are going when your head is always looking back... Concentrate on meneuvering the traffic in front of you, and the more you drive and look in the direction you are going, the further away you move from where you started...
The windscreen of your life is also big enough that you are able to see, tackle and decide on how to go about the traffic ahead and the rear view mirrors of your life, much like a car, just serve as a reminder of what you needed to pass through in order to get to where you are... Thats why they are so small, what is behind you does not matter, only the lessons they represent matter...
Live a regret free life for that is what you owe to your present and future life... If its in the past... Let it go... You are not your past...
You are phenomenal....
I think we all try as humans to live a regret free life...but cannot help but be stuck in the past. In my experience, I found that it is a process, but it is rewarding once one lets go. Spiritually forgive yourself for some of the things one feels regret towards and the rest...laugh at the stupidity, have drinks with your bestie while laughing at your naïve decisions that you took and thank God you are passed it.
