Have you ever found yourself playing the “what if” game in life? Thinking about a decision you made, an event that happened and how you responded, etc. I’ve personally had this happen, where I kept thinking about how I approached a situation, and wondering “what if” I had said this, or done that – would it have come out better? Things that we’ve experienced in the past are good for learning experiences, however, spending time on “what if” scenarios doesn’t really help us grow and develop – as generally this type of thinking leads down the road to guilt, regret, and feelings of failure. Look at your experiences as learning opportunities, not as another round of “what if” blaming.
