20/20 Hindsight

Everyone has heard the saying that "hindsight is 20/20" and it is very easy to know the right thing to do after something has happened. However, we are all human, and what I have learned is that hindsight provides us with the opportunity to learn from our mistakes and better ourselves in the hope we do not repeat the same mistakes. Everyone has made their fair share of regrettable decisions in life and I will, as always, continue to be a work in progress. For the most part I am pretty happy with who I am in life.

Self reflection is important, but it is also important not to dwell on the past because we are unable to change the past. Knowing why you made previous decisions and the motivations for these decisions is just as important as the action itself.....

Looking back is not a waste of time, but looking back and wishing things were different is, as you cannot change the past. Absorb it, catalog it - whatever - just make the most out of what you have now and try not to make the same mistakes in life over and over again..... 

"You can't go back and change the beginning but you can start where you are and change the ending" 

C. S. Lewis
