The most foolish thing in the world is to wish that you can change the past.
Changing-the-past is a type of wish which even God can’t fulfill, let alone human being.
- Your misery is not due to the mistakes committed by you in the past, however grave they may be.
- Your misery is due to your wish of changing your past, which is impossible to be achieved.
When you aspire for a wish that is impossible to be achieved, you can only hope to get pain, suffering, frustration and anger in your life.
Learn from your past, start living in present and start planning for a better future.
We all commit mistakes in our lives because ‘to err is human’.
However, a wise person learns from his mistakes and become successful in life as evident from the following.
A reporter once asked a bank president…
“Sir, what is the secret of your success?”
The banker replied… “Two words.”
“And, sir, what are they?” the reporter asked.
“Right decisions,” the banker answered.
“And how do you make the right decisions?”
“One word.”
“And, sir, what is it?”
“Experience.”
“And how do you get experience?”
“Two words.”
“And, sir, what are they?”
“Wrong decisions,” the banker answered.
Don’t allow your past mistakes to ruin your life.
Instead, learn from the experiences of your past mistakes to achieve success and happiness in your life.
