It's easy to forget that...on the whole...you HAVE moved forward more than you think.
Don't agree with me?
Well...it may not seem like it...but I bet that, good or bad, you have learned a LOT over the last five years.
Even if you are, at the moment, raising your eyebrows...the lessons that you would have learned over that time would have certainly changed your life in some way.
You may look upon this period as a negative time...but, what if what has happened to you is nature's way of preparing you more fully for where you really SHOULD be going?
I've had some seriously difficult, unpleasant, and downright heart-wrenching moments over the last five years...but, without them...you wouldn't be reading this now.
So...I am in control of my life DESPITE what has happened to me.
It's easy to say how terrible things were...when in fact I am sure that you can draw strength from so many OTHER things that happened to you.
So...what's done is done.
The only benefit from dwelling on what has happened to you in the past is to see how you can LEARN from it...and use that knowledge to your ADVANTAGE in the future.
"A mistake only becomes a failure when you repeat it."
Never forget that.
