Don't hold yourself a prisoner to some mistake you've done in the past! It makes no sense to keep your heart trapped in the same feelings, as now you're in a completely different place in your life.

Any mistake you make is just an exam which, even though you've failed at, represents an important lesson to help you open the door to a new and improved life.

We all make mistakes, sooner or later because nobody's perfect. You can't just constantly keep your guard up, by always choosing the right thing to say and the right  thing to do. You're not a robot!

In fact, you sometimes need those mistakes, like bad decisions or some words you just put out there without thinking them through. This is the only way you'll get access to deeper layers of your mind while you're trying to figure out solutions to make things right again. It's like life gives you the chance to knock on several doors until one opens and gives you access to a new part of your life.

Actually, this is what life is all about: a duality of negative and positive. You need both because you would, most certainly, not be able to survive only with the good, basically numb by all comfort's pleasure. Maybe you'd become bored because feeling well all the time is not necessarily the key to living the good life.

You need those moments requiring you to use your mind, to use your body because this is how you'll keep on properly functioning. The more you use them, the better your whole system will work and trying to solve an issue a mistake you did lead to, is the perfect occasion.

Therefore, it's not worth it to focus too much on a past's mistake. Of course, you acknowledge it, you learn your lessons and you move forward. And who knows? You might figure out that it wasn't a mistake after all...
