Do Not Dwell on the Past, Look to the Future
We need to try to live in the present and not the past. It is important to put all the pain and mistakes behind us and look ahead. The future is not written yet. We can make anything we want out of it, but if we keep looking back, letting the mistakes and pain overtake us and control our emotions and feelings, we will never get anywhere and we will never be happy.
Instead, if we want happiness we need to look forward. We need to stop looking back, but even more we need to believe we deserve happiness and to have what we want. We need to believe that we deserve love despite our mistakes. We need to remember that a bad choice here and there does not define us as a person. It does not mean that we are bad people and that we do not deserve happiness just because of a few bad choices.
