How To Make Your Life Better And Happier:
1. Accept who you are.
Accept your mistakes and move on. Nod to the past, but look to the future.
This means accepting your weaknesses and dealing with them. Plan to improve the skills you need to overcome any weaknesses you feel you have. Educate yourself if that will help.
Don’t dwell on the things you’ve done wrong in your life. Plan to do things right in the future.
If you remember something you’ve done that upsets you, then you could look at taking steps to make up for whatever things you consider so heinous.
If you have hurt people, then saying sorry can help.
If you have been rude then apologising can help.
If you have been unkind then trying to be kind in future can help.
You don’t always need to try and repair damage you have done. Sometimes it is ok to step back and move away from something without trying to make amends or heal wounds. This is a decision for you alone to make.
Don’t ever feel forced to dwell on the past. It’s past and you can not change things, only try to make the future better.
As Frank Sinatra once sang: Regrets, I’ve had a few; But then again, too few to mention.
Don’t get bogged down in regrets. Move on. Move towards a better life.
