It is easy for us to tell other people to "let it go" or "leave the past behind you" when talking to them about difficulties and strife. What does this really mean for us though? To simply let something go is not enough. You have to forgive yourself or others for any wrong doings, face the fears associated with past failures or regrets, and to accept the fact that it is okay to make mistakes. After doing all of these things, "letting go" no longer becomes an action to be taken, rather it becomes something that naturally happens through acceptance, forgiveness. This occurrence originates from a place of love and there is nothing that comes out of love that is ever wrong. When we make a decision to consciously take our mistakes, decisions, and actions of the past as learning opportunities and to use them for our benefit, we are then - and only then- able to let go.
Remember, everyone on this Earth has things that they've done or have had done to them that they are not proud of or regret. It's what you choose to do with yours that will turn these things into demons that haunt you or tools that help you. Occurrences are not always choices, but the way you let your past affect you is.
