The past, It haunts our entire lives, It's often influencing our future choices, But do we give it too much power?
Should we let it be such a big part of our lives?
Learn From Your Mistakes, Move On!
We all make mistakes, and We make big ones, And small ones. It's so stupid how we are often taught that we are somehow horrible people for making mistakes. Or that mistakes are “not normal.”
It's essential for us to use our past to not make the same mistakes. But to also stop dwelling on them. It does nothing for us. We have to move on at some point. The faster we understand the lesson we need to learn and move on. The better it is.
It Slows Us Down
We can obsess over that stupid thing we said, Over and over. For years and years. But it will never get us anywhere. It actually will slow us down in the long run, Making it harder for us to achieve the things that we want to meet.
It Can Be Fixed Or Changed
NO, Time travel isn't a thing... yet. As far as I'm aware. But many things in life are impermanent. Things you said, Can be apologized for. And often things you did can be undone. Or opportunities similar to the one you lost, Can be found. At least a similar one.
In most aspects, the past doesn't have to fully determine your future, Because you can find a way to move forward despite the challenges.
Besides dwelling, obsessing and overthinking won't change things for you either. Your best bet in that situation is looking for an option to fix the issue, Or by merely accepting the fact things are the way you are, and you have to live.
