You cannot predict the future, you cannot change the past, you have just the present moment, you must treat it as your last.
The past cannot be changed, forgotten, edited, or erased. It can only be accepted. So, learn from the past, look to the future, but live in the present. Your time has not been wasted and your efforts have not been in vain. Everything has brought you to where you are now, and this is a very good place to be. You can forward your life in whatever direction you choose. Now, you can put your wisdom, your experience and even your regrets to positive, purposeful use. The portion of your life over which you have full control begins right now. No matter where you've come from, now is your opportunity to choose precisely where you wish to go. It’s easy to get caught up in thoughts of what could have been, or to fall into discouragement about what didn't work out. Your best option, though, is to focus on the best of what can be and on enthusiastically stepping forward to make it happen. Whatever the past has been, it has also been very good to you, because it has delivered you here. Now, take that good fortune and put it to good use.
If you have made mistakes, which you have obviously, there is always another chance for you. You may have a fresh start any moment you choose, for this thing we call 'failure' is not the falling down, but the staying down. Some of the best lessons are learned from past mistakes.
The error of the past is the wisdom of the future.
To heal your past and regain your belief in you, you have to teach yourself how special you really are – the exact opposite of what the other person/event taught you.
Your past is just a story. And once you realize this it has no power over you.
