This is probably one of my all-time favorite quotes. It is by Scarlett O'Hara in Gone With The Wind.
This is a quote that can be taken as negative, or positive. This post is about making it something positive. Many times I have quoted this, and probably, not for the most positive of reasons.
We all make mistakes. Most of us have probably had a moment, or more, that we were not the most proud of ourselves, or our behavior. Maybe we have made a hurtful comment to someone. For those of my friends in Weight Watchers, we may have a bad day, or we may fall off of the wagon for a long time. We may see a shift in the scale, and it be so disappointing that we just give up. The point is, that beating ourselves up over these things, is just not good for us. We all have to learn to forgive ourselves for these things.
It is good for your heart, mind and soul, to move on, forgive yourself, and let the past be the past, even if the past was just five minutes ago!
So, get back on the wagon! Strive to change the number on the scale for the better! Strive to be a better person! Tell yourself that tomorrow is another day, and make tomorrow a better day! Each day gives us a new start!
Yes, so true. We need to remember Scarlett's words and be kind to ourselves when we make mistakes.
