"You build on failure. You use it as a stepping stone. Close the door on the past. You don't try to forget the mistakes, but you don't dwell on it. You don't let it have any of your energy, or any of your time, or any of your space."
JOHNNY CASH
"Do not [earnestly] remember the former things: neither consider the things of old."
Isaiah 43:18
We can't change the past, let it go. The only thing we can do with the past is - give it to God. Only He can turn our mistakes into miracles. He can give us "beauty for ashes".
If we dwell on the mistakes of yesterday, we can not see the possibilities of today. We can not go forward, of we keep going backwards.
Look up and forward, instead of down and back. Don't waste your life mourning of what's lost, be grateful of what you have left. Keep going, one step at a time. God is on your side.
