Regrets
Regrets indicate you're looking backwards.
We all have regrets, but keeping the focus on them for too long turns them into drama – which is the number one killer of moving forward.
Drama puts Gorilla Glue® on forward movement. That’s because we’re focused on the past vs. the present, and the present is where all forward movement happens.
If I could sing, I think it'd be productive to sing along with Frank Sinatra for a couple of bars: “Regrets, I’ve had a few, but then again too few to mention.”
Imagine if you will, two people sitting around talking ad nauseam about all their past woes and loses. That’s a conversation I want to run away from. If there's something to be learned by reviewing a loss, I’m all for it, but if it’s just a trip down Bad Memory Lane, I think that’s insane.
A friend once told me to “judge quickly.” I took that to mean that we all judge, so do it and get it over with. Because if you hang with a judgement too long, it too turns into drama. So, the natural extension is to, “r egret quickly.” Let it have its say and then get on with your day.
I think a lot of people believe if they don’t regret, they’ll forget. Quoting one of my dearly departed teachers, “You don’t need to go to the dump to remember what garbage smells like.”
The only regret I'm currently entertaining is not knowing how to end this recording.
All the best,
John
