Why Sweat It?…

Naturally, like every erring human I have had many moments of taking the wrong turn in my life and making the wrong decisions over big and small things, such as eating that extra slice of pie, over spending and buying something that wasn’t really important, saying something that I shouldn’t have said, letting an opportunity pass by etc.

It’s all about choices and at each point in time, good or bad, we made choices that we felt were the best for us at that point in time.

Since some of these are not things that we can rewind the hands of time to change – the way forward would be to assimilate lessons from the experience, leave sweating it and move on.

Change the things that are within your power to change and leave those that you can’t regurgitate back.

Living in the Land of Regrets is truly waste of one’s reserve energy and time.

I leave you with these quotes to ruminate over:

  • ‘Make it a rule of life never to regret and never to look back. Regret is an appalling waste of energy; you cannot build on it; it’s only good for wallowing in.’ Katherine Mansfield.
  • ‘You mess up sometimes, don’t regret your mistakes, fix them and you will learn from it.’ Stanisha Wray
  • ‘It’s never too late to be who you might have been.’ George Elliot

  1. This is very true. Took me long enough to stop wallowing. Now most of these choices turn into funny blog posts. It’s definitely not worth sweating it.

  3. Reminds me of Scarlett O’Hara too- Tomorrow is always another day.
    There are more mistakes to make, new things to learn or unlearn and look forward to.
    That is what life is all about.

      1. And in the book too- I loved it. That is a true classic and a tribute not to eternal love but to the indomitable spirit of a woman, who survives.
        I truly admired her and never criticised her for her “decisions”- they were right for her at that time.

    1. Eric I have had my battles and my share of guilt, but sincerely speaking, I don’t believe that God works that way, holding grudges against us. If he wanted us to be perfect, he would have made us perfect. He wants us to learn and grow from life’s journey. You are right though, a whole lot of Christians do tie themselves to the stake.
