This saying appears in many different forms, but the earliest version is probably that of the poet and philosopher George Santayana:
"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."
In the verse quoted above about being "doomed to repeat the past" it neglects things that are GOOD, GREAT and WONDERFUL about our past. Seems that negative events get far too much media play inside our heads when it comes to memories.
How about thinking this way: Try to remember every good thing that happened in your life, all the people who have had positive impact for good and all the lovely things from your childhood. Write them down. Write about things you have learned, what you felt and how you have grown.
Putting things into proper perspective can clear all the dark clouds out of ones head, giving room for a breath of fresh air. I think we treat ourselves as whipping posts when it comes to mistakes and bad choices from ourselves or others. In this I myself need change.
