The happiness in the realization that we can choose to embrace the lessons, appreciate who we become in our growth and feel proud of our ability to rise when we fall. Value the lessons life gives you and know that at every moment in your life, you were always doing the very best you could. As you learned more, you did better. Looking back on your memories, knowing what you know now, you would have done things differently. BUT at the time, with the upbringing and the knowledge and wisdom at that time, you did the very best you could.
Guilt serves no purpose.
Let go and remind yourself that you embrace your lessons and learnings, and gratefully and willingly put them in the past. Today is your day. You are a gem.
