It is so common to hear people, even ourselves, saying that "I would do this or that in a different way, if I had the wisdom I have now, some years ago". Maybe all of us have something that would have been done differently, or even not done, at all. Inside this thought I hidden the regret for not being able to see some things how we now thing they should have been saw.
I like so much a story about a guy that entered in a bar, and started talking to other people, and realized that everyone in that bar was him, if he had took a different decision, a different path. If he had study more, if he had stayed with that girl, if he had gotten that job, and so on. In the end, he realizes that he is the best version between all decisions made.
We have to understand that we are better now, wiser now, because of the decisions we made, because of the errors we did. It is not fair with ourselves to hope that we could know before, what we now know, without walking into to the path, winning or losing the challenges, and coming where we are today.
We do not need to regret our past, but be proud to be alive and still up and running. You have to think about the things that you think you went wrong, and compare with you actual position. Are you still going wrong.
If the answer to the last question is yes, I invite you to put your wisdom in practice right now. Maybe you future you will think the same about his past, like we said in the first paragraph, if you do not.
If the answer is not, congratulations! But, whatever path you decide to go from now, get the certainty that is no only the right path and decisions that make you better, but the journey, and what you decide to do with your defeats: to learn and grow, or to be regret and stop to walk.
