To move forward in life, to grow, to be successful, to enjoy your life, to build positive relationships with people, you must separate yourself from your past failures, mistakes, or disappointments.

We all have past experiences that we don’t even want to remember. We don’t want to remember them because they hurt. But we cannot live without our history. It is okay to remember your past mistakes, but it is not okay to let them ruin your present. Your past mistakes are great ways to learn the great lessons of life. You cannot correct what happened in the past, but you can correct what will happen in the future.

You cannot move forward in life when the past is still hurting you. If you want to move on in life, you must separate yourself from the past. Separating yourself from the past doesn’t mean you should forget the past. You should not forget the past, but learn from the past to know why you are where you are today. You cannot forget the past. No one ever will. The only way to forget the past is to stop living.

Respect your past, learn from it, and move on.

Think of the beauty that still remains

No matter what is going on in your life, you still have a lot to celebrate. You still have lots of things that are going well for you. Focus on what is working well for you. Don’t waste your time dwelling on what happened yesterday. Focus on what is happening now. Yesterday is gone. Today is present. It is all you have, so don’t let it slip away.

We are human beings. We cannot live without problems, difficulties, adversity, disappointments, or failures. We cannot. We have to live with it. If you keep worrying about the terrible things that have happened to you in the past, you are wasting your precious gold: TIME.

Please, don’t let your past mistakes ruin your GOLDEN today. The opportunity that you have been waiting for is in today. If you fail to focus on today, you will miss it. One thing is clear: bad things will always happen to us. The difference will be how we handle them. When you are going through hell, keep going. There is opportunity in hell. Be the first to get it. In other words, when things are not going well for you right now, yes, right now, focus on what is working well for you. It is not what happened to us that matters, it is how we handle it that matters. No matter what, you are not alone, and you will never be alone.

Always maintain a positive attitude. Always think of the positive things in your life. Think also of the negative things, but don’t allow them to take over your mind. Be careful. Whatever you think about every day, you will become. Learn from negative experiences, and move on. Anne Frank famously said, “Think of all the beauty that still left around you and be happy.”

Think of all the beauty in your life and be happy.
