During your moments of reflection, have you ever said to yourself
“Arrrgh! I’m so stupid! Why did I do that?”
Listen to what Brian Tracy (one of the greats in the personal development space) has to say about this in the short video below (little over 4 min) —
Quick summary of Brian’s key points:
- The life we have today is the result of our choices & decisions up to this point. If we make new choices & decisions, we can make a whole new life going forward.
- The person who made those mistakes in the past is a completely different version of who you are today. In fact, who you are now is a completely different person altogether.
- Forgive yourself. Making mistakes is a normal part of life. Nobody is perfect.
- Ask yourself — “What did I learn from this experience?” Find the lessons from past experiences for future application.
There is no time machine to go back and do things differently.
