Many of us carry baggage from previous experiences and relationships. We can't do anything about yesterday, we can't change what's already been done. But, we can learn from our past experiences, and use them to better ourselves. It is our purpose in life to evolve and improve and eventually become the people we were always meant to be.
Guilt is an insidious parasite what will rob you of your self esteem and pride.
Don't allow your previous transgressions to haunt you forever. There is no point in beating yourself up over and over about who you once were, what you may have done in the past. Just think of all the energy you spend filling your mind with negative thoughts, and defeating attitudes. Break the chains of self loathing and focus on who you want to be, and make a list on how to get there.
You were never destined to be the same forever.
Do you still look like you did at 8 years old? Of course you don't. Just as time ages our bodies, time also improves our intellect, and gives us opportunities to grow mentally, and spiritually. Thanks to Facebook I have come across old friends, and I am told I resemble nothing like I used to. And that's a good thing! I'm certainly not the same person, and am very happy with who I've become.
Friends will come and go, and that's okay.
There are some people who will be our friends our entire life. Others will just be with us for what will seem like fleeting moments. If there are those people who are not in your daily life like they once were, don't get upset, it was meant to be. Sometimes they fill a place in our lives to teach us something about ourselves in our journey. Others will come to replace them and take us further along. Surround yourself with those whom you would like to be like. Get rid of those people who keep you from your goals. Positive people who think like you will help you achieve more, and help you be much happier.
Our past doesn't define us as much as our present does. It is what we do with the time we have today that will distinguish what is possible tomorrow. We can correct our past mistakes, and we can create the vision of what we want. Take advantage of today, because it is all you really know for certain. Today, right now. Sometimes we come to love and appreciate this moment because of our past, but it's what we do with that wisdom that can make all our dreams come true.
