Moving On

"If judgement were suspended a bit more often we would like us more." -- Robert Fulghum in It Was On Fire When I Lay Down On It

While Mr. Fulgham was referring to judging other people, this is incredibly true for ourselves. I think much of what we don't like about ourselves, and much of what makes us feel bad, comes from judging ourselves and our actions. What if you weren't so hard on yourself? What if you just chose to live up to your morals, and when you made a mistake you noticed the lesson (made amends if necessary) and moved on without the guilt, mental abuse and baggage we tend to create? It would certainly be easier to move forward if you weren't carrying a ton of baggage.

What would it be like if you dropped the guilt? What if you freed up space in your brain spent rehashing everything you did wrong?

Certainly you'd have more space for creative thought and new ideas. You'd have more energy cause you don't have to carry such a big load. Mistakes happen. That is how we learn. Clean up the mess as quickly as possible and move on!
