Not Looking Back In Regret

Remember what I said about putting one foot in front of the other?

Well its also important not to look back in regret. Because lets face the facts: we are all human, and we aren't going to make it look good all the time. So because of a combination between my day job and some issues in coding the website, I have fallen alarmingly off my proposed plan or schedule.

But that's ok. Because life happens sometimes. No need to beat yourself up over it. Look back in order to realize your mistakes and change yourself to be better able for the future, but don't look back in regret. You don't have time for regret.

Every moment where you are spending your life on regret is a moment you are losing and will only regret in the future. Stop the cycle today and do not let yourself regret the past. Only actualize the future. Figure out what is best for you and be awesome.

For me, this means not beating myself up over not making cartoons on time or writing my new story and posting it. But Life Happens, and it will be ok.

Just keep taking steps forward, no matter how many times you were pushed back, and you will always get somewhere. Humans are capable of learning so much and the universe is always trying to give so much that we can always make some progress. Something is better than nothing, right?

But you say that's just positive thinking

And if you are a product of what you think, then think more get more.

If we all just stopped regretting what we could/should/would have done and just started thinking about what we can/shall/will do we would be half way toward our goals and proud of the time we spent on it.

I am saying this not because it is easy for me, or because I have the answer to this problem of letting go of regret, I am merely sharing with you a revelation, and hoping that you can benefit from it too.

Peace be with you, Cosmical Rabbit.
