If Only
It is impossible to drive effectively or safely if all of our attention is on the rear view mirror.
However, so often this is how people do life. They cannot let go of mistakes and events from the past ~ If only I did that different. If only that didn’t happen. . .
This is an awesome way to destroy happiness and sabotage progress.
We will make mistakes and the “wrong” choices. This is simply part of being a human. It is inevitable.
However, what we do next, after the mistake, determines what kind of life we have. And, we can forgive ourselves, let go, and move on.
Much Love,
Jonathan
