Stop Worrying About The Past

:crybaby2:If you keep worrying about all the things that you should had done the past , you will never be able to go forward. Just keep in mind that it's never too late to turn your life around.

  I agree with you but it's easier said than done. I keep on finding myself in the could have, should have,would have,if only stage. It would be great if you or other members could give me some ideas & suggestions on this issue.

It's hard to not think of the past. Things that happened in our past is what made us who we are today. i'm ALWAYS reflecting back on my past thinking what I could/should have done different...I try now to live in the moment and whatever happenes, HAPPENES!!....we cant change our past but we can learn from our mistakes and make a better future for ourselves. am I making sense here lol

This is soo true. I look back and if I would have known then where I would be now, I never would have worried.

It is not healthy to forget about the past, neither is it healthy to dwell on it. We all have scars to remind us of our past, but we can look toword the future with those experiences as a lesson. My mother told me you can never go so far down the wrong road that you can't turn around. Once you have turned around, I think you will see things in a better light. Hope I don't sound too preachy...

Your past can rob you of your future and those  wonderful things God has planned for your life. Keep living, gping forward and keep the past behind. Gob bless you!

Of course we should emphasize and focus on the “now.” Everything that happened in the past is gone. We learn from our past mistakes. It’s up to us to let it go. Focusing on the present is what determines our future happiness. We are the creator of our own future anyway. It’s easier said than done, I know.

I think we are all guilty of the shouldas, couldas from the past.  You should forget the mistakes or errors you made in the past-there is nothing at this point that you can do about it.

the past is the past.

I never have any problems with things from the past (and there are a log of not so good to even bad things in my past).  The reason they don't bother me though is that I am happy with who I am and I accept all things around me as my responsibility.  Take away or alter any of the things from my past and I would not be who I am today.

Don't forget the past, or worry about it; learn from it and apply those lessons in the present.
