7 Reasons Why You Should Learn from Your Past and Move On!

                                                Figure 1"About - Learning from the past (n.d.)

I have observed that there is something killing people of nowadays either mentally or physically, and that thing is “The past”!! My past, your past, our past, a lesson and not a state of regret that prevents us from moving on and plan for the future.

1.  It leads to depression.

 

Figure 2 Villines (n.d.)

Rowling once said “Depression is the most unpleasant thing I have ever experienced…It is that absence of being able to envisage that you will ever be cheerful again. The absence of hope. That very deadened feeling, which is so very different from feeling sad. Sad hurts but it’s a healthy feeling. It is a necessary thing to feel. Depression is very different” (“17 JK Rowling Quotes On Success, Life & Harry Potter (2019),” 2019).

 2 .   It buries your happiness far from you.

I have heard somewhere that the happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts. Sadly, many of us are still living in the past, regretting what they did or did not do in the past. Some be like “I wish I would have done this instead of doing that” or “I wish I would have been with this people instead of being with the people I was with”. With thoughts like that, building or strengthen your happiness becomes a huge challenge.

3.      It destroys your future career when your future should not be defined by it.

4.   It affects your social life with others.

Figure 5 "Anti-social behaviour warning" (n.d.)

Due to spending most of your time, living in the past, you find yourself no longer enjoying the present. As a consequence, you prefer more often to be lonely with no company. From that, an anti-social behavior is being created within yourself. You complain every time about everything, you engage yourself in fighting.

5.      It is not because you messed up in the past that your life is over.
