Do Not Regret What You Have Done

Описание: The respected Samurai Miyamoto Musashi once said - Do not regret what you have done.

Now on the surface this may seem extreme - but what I think Musashi is referring to here is to not dwell and live in the past.

As humans, we’re all guaranteed to make mistakes - but if we constantly dwell and focus on these mistakes, this then paralyses us from moving forward.

Now does this mean we should never have any remorse or regret for the mistakes we make?

No.

A true warrior is able to reflect, contemplate, and take full responsibility for their actions.

If you make a mistake - own it, asses where you went wrong, make amends where you have to, and strategise ways to ensure it doesn’t happen again.

But at the same time - don’t dwell on them. You are only human and the only thing that it accomplishes is making your present self miserable.

Acknowledging your mistakes of the past is important - but what is more important - is the ability to accept, learn and move on from the mistakes you make - so that you are not paralysed by your past decisions - and you’re able to keep moving forward, and continually live in the present.
