Chapters
You have to stop making excuses for why you are the way that you are, or why your life is not what you want it to be. And you start using it as a learning lesson, as a source of strength to grow and get better from. And constantly thinking about the past and how you wish it would have been. What does it do? It consumes so much of your mental energy, so much of your emotional energy of something that no longer exists. It was just a fleeting moment. It's gone. So if you're focusing on that, how could you ever fully be present if you can't stop thinking about the past? So what do we do? We learn to accept. Same thing that we talked about, the other ones. We have to accept these things. It happened. Nothing we could do about it, can't change it. But we can learn from it. We can move on.
