Keep Your Mind Open
The mind is the essence of a person. Whereas we must remember our mistakes in order to rectify them, once we have taken adequate corrective action, the incident should be put out of mind. Ruminating on it constitutes reliving the experience. The mind cannot operate at optimum efficiency if it is encumbered by baggage of the past. Unpleasant events that linger have a negative influence on the function of the mind. A refusal to let go of the past impedes working with the present and toward the future. If past actions have injured someone, we must indeed make amends, but then we must let go.
