Girlfriend, we’ve all got some messy chapters we’d rather rip out of our diaries. Stupid things we have done, bad choices we have made, unhealthy relationships we’ve had. (I could write a book on my embarrassing past.) We are not horrible because we screwed up… we’re human.
TRUTH: Shame is a total waste of time. It keeps you stuck in the exact place you’re trying to escape. Pain on the other hand? Pain is a powerful motivator. It’s yer personal rocket to launch you out of your gutter of shame and into a productive, vibrant life.
We all have dark spots from our past. Turn those bad times, those regret,s the “I can’t believe I did that” moments into a reason for helping someone else, for building a life today that you’re actually proud of.
Your past is information is not a prison. Leverage it. Move forward. And stop giving yesterday any power over the woman you want to be today.
