Make peace with your past so you don't mess up the present!

About This Quote

Many of us make the mistake of not learning from our mistakes. When we repeat the same behavior over and over, we find ourselves repeating the same mistakes, and eventually our life falls apart. The key to successful living is learning from our mistakes. In an article on Huffington Post, David McRaney said, "It's easy to learn from what you're doing wrong – it's not so easy to know what you're doing right.

So it's important to be keenly aware of both the mistakes you're making and the good decisions you're making." He suggests that we need a new perspective on our past mistakes. We don't learn from them as much as we should if we keep telling ourselves how stupid we were for making those mistakes.More importantly, he says, changing your perspective is the first step toward becoming a better person. Learning from your past can take real effort, but if you really want to change your life for the better, it's worth it.
