Hey Guys,
Back story:
Not moving on hinders you from achieving success in many aspects of your life because you'll always be living in the past. When your living in the past, you miss out on opportunities in the present and that effects your future. This is why many people have a hard time living the type of life they want. They dwell too hard on previous mistakes whether it's previous relationships, friendships, or school related. People just have to accept that they can't change the pass. It's better to learn from your mistakes than to keep repeating them too.
Arc 1: Forgiveness
Here's an extreme example and logic. It's crazy to be mad at a dead man! You're not hurting them by being mad at them, you're only hurting yourself. They're gone and you're walking around lifeless as if you were dead. Forgiveness isn't for them, it's for you! Holding grudges only makes your own heart heavy in the end. You have to acknowledge that you're not perfect and that you've hurt people yourself. Forgive yourself for that too. Accept that you'll make mistakes but make sure you'll learn from there. I can't change the way people treated me growing up, but I can control the way I treat people now. I put things in perspective so I can relate to people better in life now. I don't try to compare myself to other people because I don't know what they had to go through. This is why it's best not to over react or stay bottled up. Tell people how you feel before it's too late.
Arc 2: Learning
It took me awhile to realize that people kept telling me the same thing because I kept doing the same thing. I heard what people said but I didn't listen until it was too late! That's a messed up feeling, I remember getting into trouble that could have easily been avoided. Fortunately, I was young enough were didn't dramatically effect my life. However, while you're young you think you're invincible and nothing can harm you. Sometimes you think you know it all, the older I get I realized I didn't know much of anything. This is why it's important to learn from the right people, and filter out bad advice. I started paying attention to excuses I make on the day to day. I try not to leave things to chance and just go for things. Even if they seem out of reach, I just learn to jump higher.
Arc 3: Growth
A lot of people never reach their full potential because they're afraid to grow. They listen to people's doubts or worse they doubt themselves before they really try. They give up on themselves. It's hard to see yourself as successful when you don't feel successful. However, you have to realize you're going to suck at things when you first try them. If you stick with something you'll be amazed by how much you've grown with practice and patience. In order to grow you have to push pass your limits. It could be mental or physical limits, it hurts to grow because you're pushing pass those limits. A lot of people are lazy and want things to come easy. I believe good things come to those that wait, but I also believe extraordinary things come to those that seek them. A lot of times you have to be your own hero and motivator.
Closing Thoughts:
You can't be too hard on yourself and accept the type of person you are. You have to push yourself at your own pace, and live by your own standards. Because at the end of the day you're the one that has to live with yourself. Don't blame people for your mistakes and your problems. Learn to forgive those who hurt you and those you hurt. Keep learning from mistakes, and grow from them. Do something you truly love and enjoy. Stop making excuses for where you want to be, and start walking in that direction.
Take Care,
Just Dave
