8 Ways To Make Peace With Your Past
We all make mistakes. Without mistakes, we never learn and grow. But not all mistakes are easy to forget. Some of them leave strong emotions and scars on our hearts. It could be guilt, anger, and emptiness.
You may feel that no one understands what you feel. Because they are not in your situation and they don’t know what you went through.
“No amount of guilt can change the past and no amount of worrying can change the future.” — Umar ibn Al-Khattab
If you’re still holding on to your past, here are 8 ways how you can make peace with your past:
1. Accept who you are
Do you accept who you are? Or have you ever tried to change because you hate your past? Changing and improving yourself to become better is good. But you cannot change your past and your origins.
It doesn’t matter what your status and occupation are now. The past happens in the past. And it does not define your future and who you are now.
“We can never obtain peace in the outer world until we make peace with ourselves.” ― Dalai Lama XIV
