Does anyone else here at all find it useful to re-examine their past and remember the lessons you learned from it?

[Still-alive]

Seems like people dont bother doing it. I do it often to help me remember ‘ohh wait i’ve been here before so I should try something different.’

it might also reveal something about you you had long forgotten about.

i dunno i find the experience of looking into your past potentially rewarding and helps you define who you are.

your thoughts?

“Oh yes, the past can hurt. But you can either run from it, or learn from it.”

[Aerissa_Jade]

Sure do, I can't escape my past but it made me who I am today. To remove the bad things from my past would change who I am on a fundamental level.

I don't hide or keep it secret, it is who I am and if others have a issue with that, well that is their problem but live and learn and don't make the same mistakes again.

Instead, I get to make all new mistakes.

Definitely! It's a really great way to learn and I do it all the time

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Yes, I do agree with you, I look back at my past wondering why I gave the neighbor girl a chance when deep down she tried getting me in trouble.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Thanks for MHO :-P :-p

[SnowedIn]

Sometimes, yes. Not all the time nor wallowing in the past, but, yes, there are lessons there for us.

[Sour-rose]

Yup. All the time. The past is the thing that keeps me going because if I don't and let it catch up... then I'm going to be like my mom. :) Which is... a disappointing view.

I agree with you. I've been doing that and I have some regrets. I guess it's good to do that to avoid mistakes.
