Learn to forgive. Most of all, yourself.
I've found this one hard for me. I was thinking about the concept of being my own best friend. I know my best friend would forgive me, so maybe I just need to allow my own best friend to guide me to forgiveness of myself.

Never regret anything for with each "mistake" we learn - how can one regret knowledge?
I know this is the truth. I just think it will take time for me to accept the pain of today was needed to get me to the health of tomorrow. Acceptance + faith or blind trust = a new today.

Never apologize for being exactly who you are (or were) at that precise moment.
I just like this one. I've stopped apologizing. It not that I won't make amends but I will no longer apologize for things I did not have control over.

acceptance is in there that I can't change the past and it's not really helpful to me to judge what I cannot change or berate myself for what I didn't know or understand at the time.
I need to remember about not judging. This one gets me often. I just need to watch for it. Judgment sends me down the wrong road - it's like poison.
Lots of good stuff in all your posts. Thanks, I'll come back here several more times to re-read and learn as I keep moving forwards.
Thanks Again,
