Something inspirational:

Dwell not on the past; use it to illustrate a point; then leave it behind. Nothing really matters except what you do now in this moment of time. From this moment onward you can be an entirely different person, filled with love and understanding, ready with an outstretched hand, uplifted and positive in every thought and deed.

  1. Very good quote.

    My mom used to tell me something like this all the time because I would dwell on the past. I still do a little.

    I'm learning that it's not worth it. The future is what matters and the moment.

  2. The hardest part for me has been moving on, but I think I'm finally able to start doing that.

    Now I just have to remember to learn from my mistakes and not keep repeating them.

    1. That's something we all have to do, learn from our mistakes so that we don't repeat them! I'm pleased you're finally able to move on Randy.
