Pressing On

In regard to the previous entry, here is a short continuation.

We have not (and probably never will) obtained everything that can be called perfect. Many a times we regret something that has happened in the past. And there is always this high probabilty whereby we start blaming everything that is in the surrounding. We start blaming our parents, friends, circumstances, choices, dilemma for every failure and disappointment that we experienced. But, it is only when we self-evaluate ourselves that we realise the past happened because we did it ourselves. If something has gone wrong, that would probably mean we led ourselves into making that mistake.

Then, when something painfully regrettable happen that it is so difficult for us to let go, we hold it so tightly that everything we do in the present is somehow not whole. We often relate back to the past, focus all our energy into it, feeling depressed and then begin to see no hope in life. But, is that what we want our life to be? We still have long way to go in fulfilling our desire in life. There is always hope. Hope comes when we are able to forget misery that has happened in the past. By forgetting, it means to release our strong focus of the things in the past and use it to press on for the better future. It is never too late to realise our dream. However, a word of caution, no dream will ever be realised if we ourselves do not make a path for it to happen.

To end: by regretting what we have done and wish that we could have done it better, will never change a thing. What we can always do is to forget what is behind and strain forward what is ahead. All of us who are mature should take such a view of things.
