If you live long enough you may look back at a point in your life and want a do over. Think about that. So 2 years ago you didn’t handle something the way you think today you would have handled it and that makes you wish you could go back and change it.
But two years ago you didn’t know what you know now so it’s just not the same. You can’t live life wanting to go back with today’s information and make yesterday’s decisions.
There’s a reason they say “hindsight is 20/20”, because it’s so clear what you would have done now that everything has unfolded. It’s easy to coach Saturday’s team when you’re watching Sunday film, and it’s easy to fall into an emotion of regret when you forget it’s the lesson you were learning for tomorrow.
Learn from yesterday and be thankful for the wisdom. If you don’t like how it feels or how it turned out, grow by not doing it again. But don’t regret the lesson because of the education it took to learn it.
