"Regret is an appalling waste of energy,
you can't build on it - it's only good for wallowing in."
- Katherine Mansfield
Just like it's ugly cousin, worry, regret is a useless and draining activity amd should be avoided at all costs!
Regret, if necessary at all, should last only a few moments after we realize an error or omission in our lives.
But once that moment passes, and we understand our error, we must push forward and leave that experience behind us for good!
Just as worry is a waste of energy, regret is just as useless!!
In both of these emotional drains, the thing that is necessary in order to escape their trap is at our disposal day and night -and it is called ACTION!!!
Once we identify the point where we find ourselves worrying about anything, or as is so eloquently stated above in today's quote - wallowing in regret - what is needed to snap out of it is ACTION!!
Focus on a solution to our worries, and focus on making right that which we seem to regret - by fixing it or simply changing our behavior - to make sure it does not occur again in the future!
Be vigilant and do not fall prey to these insidious suckers of life and peace!
Act and move forward!!!
We shouldn't be focusing on the past in any event!!
Let yesterday worry about yesterday - we have all the work we need to do TODAY to keep our energies occupied! !
Stay Strong (and warm)!!
