Being content with yourself and optimistic about your future is not difficult. Whatever is in the past is 36 . Learn from it and move on. When you are enough 37 to do this, you will see that moving ahead is the best definition of living 38 . What can you do now? Sure it is 39 for me to tell you to forget the past, 40 it is a whole different 41 to actually do it.

I know not everyone is a football fan, but I am 45 most have watched at least 46 of a game on TV. Most games and almost all the important games are 47 over and over on the TV screen right after the game happened. When you watched a game, you were 48 of the outcome, saying the player 49 the ball. Then while watching the instant replay, you realized you were 50 wrong. The player dropped the pass. What you were certain of never happened. In order to 51 on your future, you should try to minimize the effects of your past. Try to find out how much of the past that you are certain are just 52 .
