I can't dwell on past mistakes.
Forgiving ourselves for all the woulda-shoulda-couldas in life, and sometimes forgiving others for actions that we feel undercut or undermine our good, can be very challenging. But forgiveness of the past and mistakes, our own mistakes as well as the mistakes of others, is imperative if we are to dwell fully in the present and experience the miracles that are only available to the forgiving and loving mind.
The past doesn't define you, your present does. It's okay to create a vision of the future because it affects your behavior in the "now," but don't dwell on past mistakes. Learn from them and focus those lessons in the moment. That's where change can really happen.
Here's a memonic device that I feel teaches how we can properly cope with failure. Forget about your failures; don't dwell on past mistakes Anticipate failure; realize that we all make mistakes. Intensity in everything you do; never be a failure for lack of effort. Learn from your mistakes; don't repeat previous errors. Understand why you failed; diagnose your mistakes so as to not repeat them. Respond, don't react to errors; responding corrects mistakes while reacting magnifies them. Elevate your self-concept. It's OK to fail, everyone does; now how are you going to deal with the failure
The person who is to succeed will never let his mind dwell on past mistakes. He will forgive the past in his life and in the lives of other people. If he makes a mistake he will at once forgive it.
We are a people who do not want to keep much of the past in our heads. It is considered unhealthy in America to remember mistakes, neurotic to think about them, psychotic to dwell on them.
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.
I have made so many mistakes, and such really stupid ones, I would start blubbing away if I could remember even half of them. But do not dwell on cock-ups, I say. You don't learn by your mistakes - at least I don't - so best to blunder on making fresh ones.
We must learn from the past, but we cannot dwell in the past.
That's the thing about mistakes, you don't dwell on them.
I know I can't change the past. Not my mistakes or the mistakes of others. But I can begin by changing me.
I bet you that we all learn from our mistakes. I've learned from my mistakes in the past, too.
Don't dwell on mistakes, because it will only cause more.
Our mistakes from the past are just that: mistakes. And they were necessary to make in order to become the wiser person we became.
I have this wonderful capacity just to walk away from my mistakes and not dwell on them.
I try not to dwell on the past. I'm not a big go-back-and-try-to-relive-your-past kinda person.
It's probably the ethos of our program - like, you learn from the past but never dwell on the past. It's just a mindset of we don't wallow, we don't worry... we just attack.
