Please don’t tie yourself to your past. Stop binding yourself to your mistakes, pains, and disappointments. Move on.
Your mistakes belong to the past, are old, tattered, and worn out. Drop them. Please don’t dwell on them or the past. Tear yourself from them and move on.
Focus yourself on what you are doing now, from which what you are to do in the future will emerge, will evolve. Try to experience the present fully as the necessary step to your future.
A child never learns to walk without frequently tumbling, but he rises smilingly each time he falls, and moves on, wiser, stronger, and more determined.
So, do not glue or bind yourself to your past. Use your mistakes as building blocks for your development into the new. Use the now as a foundation for your future.
Learn the lessons your past mistakes taught you, and move on. Once you learn lessons from your past mistakes, be thankful and move on.
Try to concentrate your energy on what you are doing now. Your next step will evolve from this.
But essentially, the now matters most. Live responsibly in the present. For in the present lie invaluable treasures, which you must dig out to adorn your path towards your beautiful goal.
