Start Over

Have you ever gotten 'stuck' in life?
I have....
Rehashing all the 'if's' of a given  action, thought or event.
Over and over it goes, should have, if I would have, or could have done such and such...
What good does it do to stay and examine some spot where we failed or where we weep over our delay to do or the guilt over shortsightedness that prevented us avoiding an obstacle?
Let's agree today.....NO LOOKING BACK!
Give yourself,
your family and friends and all you have ever met a
             FRESH START TODAY!
Remember no more of their faults, sins and failures, OR YOUR OWN!
On life's journey throw away all that is not important.
Cast aside all the hindrances, the past imperfections of others, the failure-sense within.
Move on.....Life is 'far from over'.......

Philippians 4:8 (The Message Bible)
8-9Summing it all up, friends, I'd say you'll do best by filling your minds and meditating on things true, noble, reputable, authentic, compelling, gracious—the best, not the worst; the beautiful, not the ugly; things to praise, not things to curse. 
Do that, and God, who makes everything work together, will work you into His most excellent harmonies.

Another version, The Living Bible  says the same verse  like this...
"Fix your thoughts on what is true and good and right.
Think about things that are pure and lovely,
and dwell on the fine good things in others.
Think about ALL you can
Praise God for and be glad about!!!
