There is that saying... Leave what happened in the past behind you. The past....yesterday... A week ago... A month ago... A year ago.. 5 years ago and so on. If you can do that, you will live a fuller, much happier life. My opinion is, this is true. However.... It is important to learn from our past. If we don't learn from our past the following can happen : we tend to repeat the same things over and over, we tend to get stuck, we tend to get caught in the same wrong situations over and over again. On the flip side, if we do learn from our past, we begin to make better choices for ourselves. If we did something that had a good result in the past and we've learned, we tend to repeat it as well. Learning is how we grow. Growing is how we become stronger as individuals. And being stronger as individuals is how we become more self confident.
Past can be kept there sure... But never stop learning and growing. New experiences and our future is what we have to look forward to as stronger, more confident people.
