People are always saying 'don't look back'. But Why? Well, I'm pretty sure everyone can can come up with at least 5 moments that they would rather not relive. Pain, suffering, embarassment, lonliness, confusion. Life can be crazy enough without having to think about our less than dazzling moments. However, these moments contribute to who we are. We learn from them. We grow. We decide what to do next or realize how strong we've become. So by all means, look back as long as you're not dwelling on things that cant be changed. Neatly put 'the past is a good place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there' ~ author unknown
List 5 regrets you have. Then, for each, brainstorm all of the lessons/good things that have come out of it. It's not always easy to see the connections and good things, but think of the big picture!
** This song has a good message about good things coming out of situations that aren't so ideal. Warning: It's very country! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bjKFb-4t_vg&ob=av2n
