Move on quickly

DON'T WASTE TIME CLINGING TO YOUR MISTAKES

A perfect man is not a man who does not make mistakes, but a man who makes plenty mistakes that he will never repeat, because he learns from his mistakes and move on from them. Mistakes are an inevitable part of a growing life, everyone makes them; but what matters most is not the error, but how you respond to it. People often waste valuable time clinging to past mistakes, instead of picking the lessons and moving on from them.

A mistake only becomes permanent when you refuse to move past it. They are life lessons and not life sentences. Every misstep is always an opportunity to learn, grow, and adjust your approach. Thomas Edison did not see his thousands failed attempts as wasted time, rather, he saw them as valuable steps toward success. If he had dwelled on each of those failures, he would not have been successful in the invention of the light bulb.

Holding onto failure or mistakes does not correct them, it only holds you back from moving forward. If you refuse to move forward, you will later regret the consequences of holding on. The weight of regret is far more burdensome than the mistake itself. Wasting time wishing you had done things differently will not change the past, it will only steal from your future.

Time is your most valuable asset, don't spend it mourning what is already done. The past is a place of reference, not residence. Every moment spent lingering on old failures is a moment taken away from creating new successes. So, let go, don't waste another second clinging to what went wrong. Forgive yourself, learn, and step forward. The road ahead is always more important than the stumble behind.

To a better you, Kamikun John.
