Excellent Advice

I will not let past failures haunt me.

Even though my life is scarred

with mistakes,

I refuse to rummage through my trash heap of failures.

I will admit them. I will correct them. I will press on. Victoriously.

No failure is fatal. It's OK to stumble...I will get up.

It's OK to fail...

I will rise again.

Today I will make a difference.

--Max Lucado

That's perfect.
Great read this morning!

What great advice! It's so easy to let yourself get bogged down with past mistakes, and that isn't healthy - plus there isn't anything you can do about them!

Every day can be a brighter day! Thanks for the quote.

Great quote! Success is the result of not letting failure discourage you!

I think MAx is better at this than me. I am a guilt person. But that does not mean I don't tell myself over and over again the past is the past and what matters is now!

I agree and also - if you want to write, don't let anyone talk you out of your desire. That is my philosophy, anyway and thanks for commenting on a recent and related topic.
