Let go of regrets from the past from "summary" of The Dalai Lama's Little Book of Inner Peace by Dalai Lama XIV Bstan-ʼdzin-rgya-mtsho
Regrets from the past can weigh heavily on our minds, causing unnecessary suffering and preventing us from fully experiencing the present moment. It is natural to feel remorse for mistakes we have made or opportunities we have missed, but holding onto these regrets only serves to hold us back. Instead of dwelling on the past, we must learn to accept what has already happened and let go of any feelings of guilt or shame. When we cling to regrets, we are unable to appreciate the beauty and potential of the present moment. Our minds become consumed with thoughts of what could have been, rather than focusing on what is happening right now. By releasing our attachment to the past, we free ourselves from this mental burden and open ourselves up to new possibilities. It is important to remember that everyone makes mistakes and faces challenges in life. The key is not to dwell on these setbacks, but to learn from them and use them as opportunities for growth and self-improvement. By acknowledging our past mistakes without judgment, we can cultivate a sense of self-compassion and forgiveness that allows us to move forward with a clear mind and open heart. Letting go of regrets does not mean forgetting about the past or pretending that it never happened. It simply means acknowledging our mistakes and accepting them as part of our journey. By doing so, we can release the negative emotions that have been holding us back and create space for peace, joy, and fulfillment in our lives. By practicing mindfulness and self-compassion, we can cultivate a sense of inner peace that transcends our past regrets and empowers us to live fully in the present moment. When we are able to let go of the past and embrace the opportunities of the present, we can experience true liberation and freedom from suffering.
