It is easy to be negative about past mistakes and unhappiness. But it is much more healing to look at ourselves and our past in the light of experience, acceptance, and growth.
Our past is a series of lessons that advance us to higher levels of living and loving. The relationships we entered, stayed in, or ended taught us necessary lessons.
Some of us have emerged from the most painful circumstances with strong insights about who we are and what we want. Our mistakes? Necessary. Our frustrations, failures, and sometimes stumbling attempts at growth and progress? Necessary too. Each step of the way, we learned. We went through exactly the experiences we need to, to become who we are today. Each step of the way, we progressed. Is our past a mistake? No. The only mistake we can make is mistaking that for the truth.
Today, God, help me let go of negative thoughts I may be harboring about my past circumstances or relationships. I can accept, with gratitude, all that has brought me to today.

Be thankful that you don't already have everything you desire. If you did, what would there be to look forward to? Be thankful when you don't know something, for it gives you the opportunity to learn. Be thankful for the difficult times. During those times you grow. Be thankful for your limitations, because they give you opportunities for improvement. Be thankful for your mistakes. They will teach you valuable lessons. Be thankful when you're tired and weary, because it means you've made a difference. It's easy to be thankful for the good things. A life of rich fulfillment comes to those who are also thankful for the setbacks. Find a way to be thankful for your troubles, and they can become your blessings.
Hey CV ! Got the new coloured Black's album and during more than 30 minutes I travelled through your magical musical landscape along differents beautiful countries that the songs inspire me. Thanks again for this new trip ; I hope that those new 8 songs will get the chance to travel all around the world to touch the soul and the heart of many listeners...
Hello Black! You are so wonderful man! I like a lot your new album! I would like to draw a portrait of you and to send it as a present for you! What do you think about it?
National Independence Day [Narodowe Święto Niepodległości] is celebrated every year in Poland on 11 November to commemorate the anniversary of Poland's assumption of independent statehood in 1918 after 123 years of partitions by Austria-Hungary, Germany, and Russia.
Thank you for your music and approach to life. It's been an inspiration.
At long last my debut novel, The Cuckoo Parchment and the Dyke, is available. To find out more, please visit my profile. If you’re interested you can buy it, here!
Thanks for accepting. Yes, I was just listening on Mon to the Black album and thinking 'I wonder what happened to...?'. Sweetest Smile and the other songs of that time I associate with being in SE Spain in 1988 and Spagna and 'Boys Boys Boys'. Take care
