“Stay away from what might have been and look at what will be.” ~Marsha Petrie Sue
Everyone has something they might do differently if they could back in time. It’s a natural consequence of learning and growing.
The happiest people focus not on what they should have done if only they knew then, but instead on what they can do right now with the knowledge they have gained. No matter how helpless you may feel, you can do more than you think.
Today you will make hundreds of mini-decisions that will create what will be. You’ll have people to meet, challenges to take, and opportunities to seize. You can only seize those moments with a sense of joy and possibility if you forgive yourself for the choices that have past.
