I have been the type who stayed stuck in the past. I would play past mistakes and beat myself up badly for doing them. Past regrets such as not saving for retirement sooner, not saving money, not focusing on myself, staying in one job area rather than trying new things, and just letting failed jobs attempts (wasn’t learning fast at Wal Mart as they want you to learn everything in 2 days) get to me to the point where I’d be so negative towards myself. I can remember saying to myself, "Why am I so dumb?” Or “I hate being a slow learner I’m going to struggle my whole entire life because of my slow mind”. But now I realize that the past is dead and can’t be brought back to life. The best thing for me to do is focus on making my future better by doing what I can in the present to make my future self-happy.
