I learned how my focus on past hurts and disappointments, and on the negative (in general) keeps me stuck in life. I feel sad about not making progress, but I haven’t been able to make progress because of where I am focusing. If I learn to let go of what was/is wrong or difficult, and let myself see what was or is good/ going well, then I would be able to see ahead, and move, and make even a little progress in a better direction. I know that eventually I will find myself in a better place if I keep doing that.
