You Are Not Your Past

Your mistakes and bad decisions in the past are one of the factors that contribute to to make you feel unhappy. Despite what happened in your past, your identity isn’t connected to the things you’ve done. Every person has a part of their past that they’re ashamed to even talk about. However, you deserve to move forward, just like everyone else.

By holding onto guilt and regret, you’re holding yourself back from being happy and positive thinking. Everyone makes mistakes, and it depends on you if you’re going to dwell on it or use it as a stepping stone to become a better version of yourself.

I know the feeling....I gather with my friends and folks want to call it a "skulk," and I don't think that sounds nice....

You’re Always Growing

No matter what situation you may find yourself in, everything happens for a reason. It may not be a reason that we understand, but it all makes sense one day. Even if a situation is painful to deal with, we can use that to grow and become better. If pain didn’t exist in our lives, then we’d never be forced to go out of our comfort zone and learn things.

You can’t become instantly happy without knowing what pain is. Pain can make you feel bad temporarily as you grieve a loss, a change, or a setback. However, all those experiences will make you feel more gratitude in the future. It’s a sign that things are temporary and we need to be positive when things are good and appreciate people while they’re around. Those roadblocks end up being the cause of our direct growth in the end.
