If you rehearse the mistakes of the past you will repeat the mistakes of the past.

Often we tell ourselves we could have done something differently. Or we could have done more but in reality, we probably did everything we knew to do.

Memories can be torturous. If only we had acted differently. But we didn’t because we didn’t know how to. Can’t change that. Just because we would act differently now doesn’t matter.

Now here’s the kicker. If you keep going over your past mistakes in your mind you are destined to repeat them. Learn from them yes, but don’t keep rehearsing them.

The past is the past. It’s best leave it there since it rarely has any place in your future.
