It's one thing to learn from the past. It's a bit different from fixating and living in the past. If we can learn to differentiate the two, our lives will be a lot happier.

Use your past as a guide. That way, if you're presented with something, you already have a general idea of how to move forward.

Your reflection shouldn't always be for negative experiences and the ones you were happy with. They can help you continue to move in the positive direction you're trying to move in.
