Every one has a finite number of energy. Then why waste it on regretting what you had done wrong in life and not caring about its usage in future.
Dropping your baggage could be the first one in your things to do list. Stop regretting what you have done wrong. If you ll try to forget your past, you ll end up forgetting the lessons you have learnt in those mistakes.
After 5-10 years , you ll realize all what you have done in the past whether it's an achievement or meeting new people or taking risks in career or saying yes to someone or jumping from the high mountains to swim in the deepest ocean, feeling loved by the people and then seeing them go away or saying yes to all the crazy plans with your friends or getting drunk hard, fighting with your parents, abusing people , working hard to achieve your dreams , sacrificing people and plans , trust me , it's all worth it.
Now that I have grown up to be like this, I absolutely have no regrets because who I am today is all because of those mistakes which I made out of my adrenaline rush at that point of time or not listening to good and right advices from my close people. At least when I ll become old, I ll not regret not making those decisions which made me learn so much so fast.
By not dropping your regrets and baggages, not only you lose out on your energy and positivity , you too are making more bad decisions which you ll regret later again and this chain will continue till you finally realise that it's high time that you live freely without taking heaviness of your past.
No one is there in this world who did not at one point of time make bad choices in life but just because of their attitude towards life, some are shining brightly and some are crushed by reliving and overanalyzing their mistakes.
So stop beating yourself up over some past mistakes, learn from them and rise and shine.
Pick up the broken pieces and move on.
Recover.
Forgive.
Live.
Forgive.
Live.
Let it go. :)
