Another Ten Quotes About Letting Go of the Past

Zenovia B.
"There was a time when I could not let go of the past. Always regretting a decision I had made, saying to myself, "if I had done this, if I had done that, my life would be this way or that way." Enough already! I was driving myself nuts. So now I have forgiven myself, because I know my Creator hasalso forgiven me. I really try to now live my life in a way that proves that I have learned from my past and I believe in my future.

It seems as if people like them the first time, so I will try ten more quotes.
