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.
This is a constant practice, but it helps us not constantly review past choices, but instead find satisfaction in what we’ve done and focus in what we’re doing now.
