Eleanor Roosevelt achieved a lot in her life and was asked once how she was able to accomplish so much in her lifetime.
She responded by saying “I never waste time with regrets.”
How much time do we waste thinking about and living with things that have happened, either to us or because of our own actions?
Too much time?
A regret is a feeling of sadness, repentance, or disappointment over something that has happened or been done, especially a loss or missed opportunity.
Being able to overcome those things takes strength, courage and intentional repeated actions because, as much as we would like them not to, tough things are going to happen and we will mess up plenty on our own.
But that doesn’t have to be the end of the story. Living in the moment requires learning from the past, but not living in it or with regrets of what we experienced or what we did or did not do.
We will be at our best, continue to become more and contribute more positively to those around us when we, like Eleanor Roosevelt, do not waste time with regrets.
Do your best to move on and be engaged in the moments in front of you today.
I’m cheering for you.
