Can you look to the future and leave the past behind?

I deal with people going through divorces on a daily basis. They continually bring up the same things over and over and can't seem to move on. Can anyone out there leave the past behind them and look forward instead?

    Unresolved hurts and frustrations , will linger sometimes for years if not decades if not resolved to the owner satisfaction

    The perceived pleasure of going over the events( although can be quite painful in fact) exceeds the pain endured therefore is seen as a advantage .....

    Getting carried away here ....to answer your question

    Yes I can leave the past in the past, and have done so ... its gone can't be repeated, repaired, or altered in any way, so why would I mess around with it ,

    life is short .....move on enjoy what you can ,be of help where you can

    that's in basic terms organic to think of with regard to the previous and with any luck learn from it, yet once you consistently stay on it, how are you able to probable pass forward. you have not any way of understanding what the destiny holds, you may dream approximately it, have a prefer to stay a undeniable way, and try to prevail in aims to realize it, however the nice and comfortable button is. the day in basic terms before that's long previous, you may not replace it. the next day is unknown, right this moment is a cutting-edge, that's why that's talked approximately as the present

    Experiences make you who you are. Unfortunately, people get stuck with pictures and emotions that are very difficult to let go of. I think it is possible to leave them behind and move forward, but they never go away 100%.

    Impossible because the past shapes the future. How do u expect them to leave the past behind , they will always act according to their past experiences.. What are we made of other than our past?

    I can.

    But I prefer to concentrate more on the present. That is the most powerful moment.

    Sure you can look to the future, but if you forget your past you are bound to repeat your same mistakes.
