strike过去式（Strike it Off A Look Back at the Past）

Strike it off is a phrase often used when we want to remove something from our lives. It could be a habit, a toxic relationship or even a bad memory. But today, let's take a moment to look back and reflect on some of the things we might have struck off in the past. And who knows, we might learn a thing or two from them.

Letting Go of Toxic Friends

We've all had that one friend who always managed to bring us down. The one who never had anything positive to say and always seemed to suck the energy out of the room. And yet, we held onto them for far too long, despite the obvious signs that we needed to let go.

It might have been a difficult decision at the time, but looking back, we can now see how much of a positive impact it had on our lives. Removing toxic friends allowed us to make space for positive and uplifting relationships. We learned that true friends bring out the best in us, and it's okay to let go of those who don't.

Breaking Bad Habits

We all have habits we're not proud of – whether it's smoking, procrastination, or overeating. These habits often hold us back from living our best lives. Breaking them is a challenging journey, but one that's worth taking.

Looking back, we might feel a sense of pride in ourselves for taking that first step towards change. We learned that we have the power to break free from our old ways and create new, healthier habits. We also learned that self-discipline and determination are essential tools in making lasting changes.

Forgiving Ourselves and Others

We've all made mistakes in the past – some big, some small. But one thing that often holds us back is our inability to forgive ourselves and others. It's easy to get caught up in the past and hold onto grudges, but doing so only brings negativity into our lives.

Forgiving isn't easy, but once we do, we open ourselves up to a world of possibilities. We learn that forgiveness is a form of healing, and it allows us to move forward with a clear mind and an open heart. We also learn that life is too short to hold onto grudges and that letting go is sometimes the best thing we can do for ourselves.

In conclusion, looking back at the things we've struck off in the past can be a powerful tool in learning and growth. We learned that letting go of toxic friendships, breaking bad habits, and forgiving ourselves and others are crucial steps in creating a happier and more fulfilled life. And who knows, by looking back, we might gain the wisdom and courage we need to strike off even more things from our present and future lives.
