In the past, I've done some things I'm not so proud of. How can I get over that and move on with my life to become a better person?

Believe me, you are not alone in how you feel. I think every human being on this earth has done things in their past that they are not proud of, including me. I used to be overcome with guilt, but I finally realized that life is a learning process - trial and error. You have already taken a big step in the right direction. The best you can do is let the past go - it's done and over with. Yes, you've made mistakes, but I'm sure in the process you've learned from them. Use what you've learned for something positive. I've found that the best way to feel better about myself is to help others. Find something that you feel you can do to make someone elses life better, and in the process you will enrich your own life. The Holiday season is coming up, with many opportunities for volunteer work. I know where I live our local newspaper posts volunteer lists of all kinds of things people can help with. If you're an animal lover, you can even volunteer at your local shelters - lots of love needed there, also! Believe me, it works wonders. When you let your light shine, the darkness doesn't have a chance!

if you happened to hurt someone in your past, it is better to ask forgiveness from that person. once that's done, you will feel good inside and that's the only time you can start a new life. we cannot undo what we did in the past but the realization that we did something wrong and the desire to change is the best thing that can happen to someone. let the healing begin within you, you are forgiven therefore, forgive yourself.

BE HERE NOW! Past is dead and gone. When you find yourself reflecting back, just know that all the past has brought you here, to this present moment. It took all the past to make you who you are right now!
