1. this is not easy in some cases. many of us are dealing with unfortunate economic or personal circumstances. still, you make it worse by lying in the mud. accept that the past is past. forgive any people who have harmed you, not for their sake but for yours. start imagining how things could improve. this is the first step toward action.
