Our past is a story existing only in our minds. Look, analyze, understand, and forgive. Then, as quickly as possible, chuck it.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
You can't dwell in your past but move forward, look forward. That's it.
When you begin to think about the past, you realize how much of it is lost to us.
Sometimes it takes looking at the past to really be able to move forward and learn from it.
Our pasts so many times determine the value of what is happening today. Everybody is midway in their story.
There is a way to look at the past. Don't hide from it. It will not catch you if you don't repeat it.
There is a fine balance between honoring the past and losing yourself in it. For example, you can acknowledge and learn from mistakes you made, and then move on and refocus on the now. It is called forgiving yourself.
We're all struggling to get out of the past. We see something that reminds us of something, and then we bring our baggage into the present. Then we project it onto people constantly.
The past is what you remember, imagine you remember, convince yourself you remember, or pretend you remember.
Look not mournfully into the past, it comes not back again. Wisely improve the present, it is thine. Go forth to meet the shadowy future without fear and with a manly heart.
Don't ignore the past, but deal with it, on your own pace. Once you deal with it, you are free of it; and you are free to embrace your life and be a happy loving person because if you don't, the past will come back to haunt and keep coming back to haunt you.
