It doesn’t matter whether you left the relationship or were left—the best advice I have learn't from the past is not to carry old “baggage” into the new life you envision for yourself.

Tip 1: Never look at a relationship (or anything else) that hasn’t worked out as a failure.

Tip 2: Turn from the past and look toward the future ...YOUR future

Tip 3: Take responsibility for your part—no more and no less

Tip 4: Learn from and give thanks for the lessons that you learned and change your attitude

As painful as it is to hear, the truth is that everything in your life (including your relationships) is a result of the choices you have made up until now. If you don't like the circumstances in your life or relationships, decide to make other choices.
