No, dear brothers and sisters, I have not achieved it, but I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead,
Philippians 3:13 NLT
https://bible.com/bible/116/php.3.13.NLT
It's easy to focus on past mistakes but God wants me to focus on looking forward to what He has in store for me.
Do everything without complaining and arguing, so that no one can criticize you. Live clean, innocent lives as children of God, shining like bright lights in a world full of crooked and perverse people. Hold firmly to the word of life; then, on the day of Christ¡¯s return, I will be proud that I did not run the race in vain and that my work was not useless.
Philippians 2:14-16 NLT

I need to live a life that shows that I follow Christ. I need to shine like a bright light in the crooked and dark world. I need to hold fast to the Word of life so that God will reward me.
Phillipains 2:3:
3 Don’t be selfish; don’t try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves. 4 Don’t look out only for your own interests, but take an interest in others, too.
It's very easy for me to become selfish and forget to look out for other people's interests. I need to be selfless and remember to look out for other people and their interests.
