Rob Lowe Quotes

I am a person that likes to move on. I am the first to make mistakes in my life.

If we have goals and dreams and we want to do our best, and if we love people and we don’t want to hurt them or lose them, we should feel pain when things go wrong. The point isn’t to live without any regrets, the point is to not hate ourselves for having them… We need to learn to love the flawed, imperfect things that we create, and to forgive ourselves for creating them. Regret doesn’t remind us that we did badly — it reminds us that we know we can do better.

The person who is to succeed will never let his mind dwell on past mistakes. He will forgive the past in his life and in the lives of other people. If he makes a mistake he will at once forgive it.

You've got to let it go and say it was the best I could do at that time and place in my life. You hope that the thing you're doing next is a little bit better.

My biggest regret is rolling in regret. It is best to pick yourself up, dust yourself off and move on.

Forgive yourself for your faults and your mistakes and move on.

There is a fine balance between honoring the past and losing yourself in it. For example, you can acknowledge and learn from mistakes you made, and then move on and refocus on the now. It is called forgiving yourself.

Like everyone else, I've made a lot of mistakes in my life. The only way I know how to handle them is to learn from them and move forward.

Don't ever think that the sin of your past means there is no hope for your future.

Being gentle means forgiving yourself when you mess up. We should learn from our mistakes, but we shouldn't beat the tar out of ourselves over them. The past is just that, past. Learn what went wrong and why. Make amends if you need to. Then drop it and move on.

I don't regret anything. Everything happens for a reason-it's part of the healing process. Life is a healing process.

I always think you've just got to move on. If you keep wallowing in the thing that you've done for a while you get a bit stale.

If we all hold on to the mistake, we can't see our own glory in the mirror because we have the mistake between our faces and the mirror; we can't see what we're capable of being. You can ask forgiveness of others, but in the end the real forgiveness is in one's own self.

Don’t judge people on who they used to be. Allow them to be who they are now.

You have to be able to say, OK, that happened back then. Now let's take it from here and see what happens. It would be very easy to hate people for the rest of your life, and some people have done that. You've got to deal with what's happening now and try to make things better.

I think there comes a point where you have to grow up and get over yourself, lighten up…and forgive

That's what courage is. Taking your disappointments and your failures, your guilt and your shame, all the wounds received and inflicted, and sinking them in the past. Starting again. Damning yesterday and facing tomorrow with your head held high. Times change. It's those that see it coming, and plan for it, and change themselves to suit, that prosper.

Time to stop crying, time to get her act together and do something. Time to move beyond the pity party.

It doesn't matter who you have hurt, if you've learned not to hurt again. It doesn't matter what mistakes you've made as long as you don't make them again. As long as you learn, as long as you're willing to take your life in your hands, and kiss it and go from there. Then there is growth. There there is life!

By honestly acknowledging your past errors, but never damning yourself for them, you can learn to use your past for your own future benefit.

Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.

I'm done with those; regrets are an excuse for people who have failed.

I don't look into negative things. Go past mistakes and look forward.

Even when you've made mistakes in life, you can still contribute and pick up the stuff and move on.

Mistakes are nothing to be ashamed of.
