I have had the need in my life to reconsider certain things I said. Things a wiser person would most likely have not said. Has this ever happened to you? You say it, the words just come spilling out and then there was no way to get them back. There is now nothing to do except to apologize. (Something I have had a lot of experience with.) Which is probably both a good and bad thing.
Harder than saying your sorry to others can be letting go of it yourself. But like the apology, this too must be done. We must do what we can to make it right, then let it go, move on and be done with it. We cannot hang onto our own regrets nor let them hang onto us. If we do we’ll just begin creating something else we’ll regret.
We must not let the mistakes and blunders of yesterday creep in and darken the hope and potential of today. I love what Emerson had to say on the subject.
“Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities have crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day. You shall begin it serenely with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.” ~Emerson
