On my way to work, a thought came in while listening to Oshimiri Atata by Faith Captain. The song title is going to be my motto going forward. That is going to be my weapon, by the Christ that dwells in me.
Back to my thoughts. I came to the conclusion that a mistake only becomes a regret when one dwells long on it, though experience, they say, is the best teacher.
A mistake is something that happened. Regret is how you feel about that thing, or about a thing that never happened at all.
Being present, and being intentional.
