Do you spend more time thinking about the future or the past? Why?
It would be so easy to look back and . . . what? What can you change?
I’ve met more than a fair share of people who constantly beat themselves up or get bitter and twisted about decisions that affected their life or someone close to them.
OK, I get it. Who hasn’t made a mistake or 3? But all that energy for something you just can’t change.
Wouldn’t it be better to invest (and yes that’s exactly the right word) your time and energy in a better way?
Old blue eyes sang – “regrets? I’ve had a few but then again too few to mention”. Ditto. Have some perspective about bad decisions. Did somebody die, then what could you possibly have done or said differently for another outcome?
Most mistakes are small but get blown out of all proportion by oneself or an injured party.
Can you move on? Yes. Will you? Your call. Don’t parade your mistakes, just admit it, leave it and walk away.
Apologies are always useful to mend bridges. So having said one, move on. If someone is unaccepting let it be, you can’t change it if you’ve been entirely honest.
My previous mistakes have led me to a motto I use frequently: onwards and upwards.
Sounds easy but you know as well as I do that it isn’t. However, should that stop you? NO, NO, NO!!!!
The only negative to take away. Make sure your positivity helps to make your future better for you and those you love.
