It is easy for me to be negative about past mistakes and unhappiness. But it is much more healing to look at myself and my past in the light of experience, acceptance and growth. My past is a series of lessons that advanced me to higher levels of living and loving. The relationships that I entered, stayed in, or ended, taught me necessary lessons. Some of us have emerged from the most painful circumstances with strong insights about who we are and what we want.
My mistakes? Necessary. My frustrations, failures and sometimes stumbling attempts at growth and progress? Essential, too. Each step of the way, I learned. I went through the experiences I needed to, to become who I am today. Each step of the way, I progressed. Is my past a mistake? No. The only mistake I can make is mistaking that for the truth. Today I am focusing on letting go of negative thoughts that I may be harboring about my past circumstances, or relationships. I can accept, with gratitude, all that has brought me to today. That's today - I hope and wish for this feeling to stay!
