Keep the lessons of your pain, but not the memories of your pain. Let it all go.
All your pain from your past, has already served you.
You cannot heal memories, you can only heal yourself in the present.
If you are not careful, your memories can imprison you. You must stop thinking about what you wish to repair from the past.
As your past emerges in your mind, you vanish in the present.
Memories can be a form of false consciousness; a place one lives to avoid living.
The past is real, but it is as ephemeral, and as unreal, and as unreachable, as any other illusion.
The past may have given you awareness, but it is not awareness.
No matter what you lost, or how you were hurt, there is no future for you in your painful memories.
If you can just be yourself in today's world, then you are already tremendously successful.
