Forget the Past

Forget what hurt you in the past, but never forget what it taught you. Don't think about the past, you can't change it and remember that there is nothing you can do to change the past. You can change the present and the future, especially by learning from your past. But you can't change the past. It doesn't do any good to worry about something that you have absolutely no control over.

The other thing you can do is to look at the positive side of your experiences. It's important to remember the bad experiences that you went through so that you can learn from them, but it's also important to not dwell on the emotions too much. Remember what happened, detach yourself a little bit from the emotions, draw your conclusions about what you would do differently in the future, and then move on.

Its not the past event that makes us feel bad but its rather our lack of ability to have a better future. If the future appeared to be prosperous then the painful past memories will become happy memories. That’s why most of the people forget about their old relationship whenever they start a new one, its just because the future became bright once again. The past only hurts those who can’t see signs of light in the near future. If they were sure that the future will be bright the past won't be able to affect their lives.

Examine your past and find those events which are causing you much pain then visualize the type of future which can make those events become painless. If you lost lots of money then being rich will wipe out this memory, if you broke up with someone then finding someone better will help you forget this relationship and if you had a painful experience then taking the necessarily actions that guarantees that this event wont happen again will make you forget about it.
