Your life is difficult not because the past is holding you back, but because you keep thinking about the past and lingering there.
Rather than haggling with your past, let it be, so that it can flow like a river. Your true self is not the river of memory but the one who stands beside the river, quietly observing its flow.

If you’re sad, it’s okay to acknowledge your sadness. If you have pain that leaves you at a loss, it’s okay to talk about your pain. The reason we have difficulties is that we are unable to accept the things that cannot be changed. Let them be and see what happens.

Even though it seems suffering will continue without end, at a certain point it will ease up, or we will learn to accept it.

The voice that criticizes and berates me is much louder than the one that cheers me on. When times are tough, that cheering voice can get drowned out.

Rather than choosing a life in which you do nothing for fear of making a mistake, choose a life that improves through failure and pain.
And shout out loud to your struggling self, “I love you so much.”
