Failure

“I wouldn’t change a thing about my past; it has made me who I am.”Have you heard that before? Maybe a 1,000 times?Well, as many times as you’ve heard that is the same number of things I’d probably change about mine. 1,000 bad decisions. 1,000 moral mishaps. 1,000 blind turns in the road of life that I wasn’t prepared for. I’d change a whole lot.Not wanting to change the past is not a sign that you’ve actually learned from your mistakes or that you’ve grown from those experiences. It seems more of a disingenuous dismissal than the wrestling match of true growth.Regret and growth are not mutually exclusive.Keeping a close watch on both, together, offers the wisdom for better decisions in the future.
