Always Make Amends and Move On!
Quote of the Day:
“Make it a rule of life never to regret and never look back. Regret is an appalling waste of energy; you can’t build on it; it is good only for wallowing in.” Katherine Mansfield
Meaning of the Quote:
Make it your life’s motto - Have no regrets and don't dwell on the past. The only thing that regrets can do is to waste your time. Dwell in the here and now; it is where your power lies.
Discussion of the Quote:
Instead of looking back and regretting, take stock, make amends and move forward. When you spend your time looking back and regretting, you are engaging in self-centered action which is beating yourself for your past mistakes.
Everyone made mistakes, makes mistakes and will continue to make mistakes in the future. So, instead of punishing yourself for your mistakes, you should admit your wrongs, make amends to those you have wrong that includes yourself and move on.
Final Thoughts:
Unfortunately, you cannot build on regret, guilt or shame. You can only wallow in them.
“Owning and making amends for my mistakes affords me the opportunity to build on my past and integrate it. I can start doing this anytime … maybe even today.”
Indeed, since regret can do no good for you; don’t dwell on it nor wallow in it. Rather, take stock so that you don’t make the same mistakes twice and learn from the errors of your ways. Build on your amendments and make them a part of your life now and move forward with freedom, forgiveness and confidence.

It is good to remember the past so we don't repeat the mistakes Nichola. Other times the memories will remind us how we did something well.
