The things I could have done differently or learned sooner. There’s so much knowledge out there, so much information, so many ways to get better. And we make so many mistakes, We are the product of our mistakes.
And oftentimes the lesson is sitting in front of our face: There to be learned.
But we miss it or we don’t pay attention to it or we think we know better. Until it punches us in the face:
The most important thing to learn is that we have so much to learn.
We all do. And we can learn from school and people and experience and life. But you have to process the information. Absorb it. You have to accept it. You have to open your mind—FREE YOUR MIND. So that you can learn and make real progress.
Are there things I regret and things I wish I had done differently? Of course. Hindsight is 20/20 and looking back, who wouldn’t want to take another go at something and improve by doing it again? And then why not do it again, and again, and again. Who wouldn’t want to do things over until you have it perfect?
But the fact is: You don’t get that chance. You get one shot.
We get one shot at this gig right here: Life. One life that’s all we’ve got.
And the most important thing to understand about regret is that in and of itself, regret is worthless. It does nothing for you.
In fact: The only thing valuable in regret is the lesson you learned. The knowledge you gained.
But walking around filled with regret gets you nothing.
So. Learn and move on. Don’t let regret beat you down. Don’t be a slave to regret.
NO.
Let it teach you. Let it make you better. Let the fear of regret fuel you to take action today now.
Take action now to become a person not filled with regret, but a person filled with knowledge and strength and power and life.
