Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 537 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
If you suffer from regret, it seems that the greatest preventable griefs are the ones that we cause ourselves. Regret on second-guessing over the choices that we make. An interesting concept, indeed.
A book was written where a writer says that “every decision is not only a choice for something, but a choice against something else”.
In other words, opportunity costs. Think about it, decisions have to be made in order for your life to grow, for things to happen, for things to choose. If you go shopping or you need to buy some things that you need, or the clothes that you’re going to wear, or the job you’re going to take, or a decision that you’re going to make… These are choices. They are expected of you. Now, making good choices objectively doesn’t mean you need to feel bad subjectively. Don’t look to make the perfect choice. Just a “good one”.
That’s good enough, that’s what you need to do. Also, remember not to second-guess yourself. If you adjust and have experience, make the decision, no matter how wonderful, the joy that you will experience to do is greater than the grief you will experience for doubting yourself. When you focus in a conscious manner on the good aspects of the choice that you’ve made, and rather than thinking if only I had done this and if only this had happened; don’t think about the ‘if only.’ The more you appreciate and enjoy the choice that you’ve made, the less regret you will experience in your life. As a writer once said, “to be happy, drop the words ‘if only’ and substitute instead the words ‘next time’. It is as simple as that. I believe in that strongly.
I am positive that in my life, I have paid close attention to that. I could tell you that it will make your life so much easier to don’t waste time on regretting, if you focus on the present to change the future.
You must borrow, if you wish, from the experiences of the past that you can do, but only borrow not to live in the past; live in the present and this way you can change the future. This will be the guarantee that you will have a good life in everything that you do.
So don’t suffer from regret. Enjoy instead the decisions that you make and be happy with what you’ve got. I wish that for you.
