英语美文：You are not your past

You are not your past. You are not your mistakes. You are not your failures. You are not who you were yesterday. You are not even who you were this morning. You are who you decide to become, who you COMMIT to become. You could be one decision away from a completely new life.
你的过去，无法定义你。你的错误，无法定义你。你的失败，无法定义你。现在的你，和昨天的你，完全不一样。甚至可以说，此时此刻的你，和今天早上的你，也完全不一样。你决定要成为什么样的人，你下决心要成为什么样的人，你就是什么样的人。只需要做出一个改变，你就能迎接新的生活。

We are all capable of re-inventing ourselves. There's absolutely no reason why anyone should need to live in the dark times of their past when their future is bright and waiting for them.
我们都可以重塑自己。没有人必须在黑暗的过往中挣扎，光明的未来正在等待他们。

Holding on to things that have gone wrong in the past is never going to serve your future. It's never going to make you feel good in the present. It will only increase your suffering.
纠结过去的错误，对你的未来没有好处，它不会让现在的你感到快乐，它只会徒增你的痛苦。

So, you have to ask yourself. Is that event, that moment from my past, that moment that is OVER now, worthy of sucking all the joy out of my PRESENT and my FUTURE?
所以，你必须问问自己，那件事，那个已经过去的时刻，那个已经结束的时刻，值不值得让自己牺牲现在和未来的快乐？
