“The past is like using your rear-view mirror in the car, it’s good to glance back and see how far you’ve come, but if you stare too long you’ll miss what’s right in front of you.”
No regrets, no worries. Relax and breathe. Stay present, understanding that you did the best you could at the time, and you’ll do your best in the future. Reliving past pain again and again, or chronically worrying about the future, do not help you accomplish anything. A self-imposed philosophy of perfection can overwhelm you. There is no contest to win and no race to finish. Simply love yourself and do your best, and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse, and regret. Connect with your generous and compassionate spirit. Be thankful for the growth that comes from forgiveness. Live in the present and with an open heart. ~ Creig Crippen
