I met with a lady who said to me;

I just find it difficult to forgive myself because of how I have messed up in the past.

Truly, many people are trapped by this monster called the past and it has held many potential into ransom.

The reason why some people have not been able to make headway in life is because they still battle with their past.

The best you can do from the past is to learn from it.

It is very important to note that; past does not only affect when it is negative, even positive past might be a threat to your success

No matter how awesome or horrible your past might be, past is past so let it pass.

Your past achievements and history of success might be an hindrance to your future success if care is not taken.

Your past is the enemy of where you ought to be

Therefore; forget the past, shake up the dust or lay down the medal, roll up the sleeve and get to work. Better days ahead.

Thanks for reading.

Wise words there. Couldn't agree with you more. I have no understanding of why people can't comprehend that there is nothing you can do to change yesterday. The past is fixed in one place forever while the future can take you anywhere you want to go. Thanks.

Thanks @spunkpuppet for your insightful contribution
