Run from it OR Learn from it

 

We can't change the past. What happened to us and who we used to be cannot be altered. When we run from it and wish things turned out differently we keep ourselves trapped in the past. It all happened. It will not ever have not happened. Some things happened to us while others happened because of us. Fill those two buckets and accept them. Learn from them. Grow into a better person from them.

Don't let yesterday take up too much of today. -Cherokee Proverb


Your mindset is the key. Are you getting through or getting better? Each day has micro opportunities for each. You might be getting through one minute while you are getting better in another. What can you do to maximize your learning? We're more engaged, happy, and satisfied when we lean into the getting better moments. Be more aware and care about these moments.

The whole world is a schoolhouse and our job is to learn. Your future self depends on you and so are we!
