How to Let Go of Regret
Let go of the ideals, and embrace reality.
- The choice we made in the past is done, and we can’t change it. Some choices will be great, some won’t be perfect.
- Making a bad choice isn’t in conflict with our realistic, not fixed self-identity. It’s a part of it...
"The best arguments in the world won’t change a single person’s mind. The only thing that can do that is a good story."
RICHARD POWERS
