You can't change the past so don't get stuck in regret. Learn from your mistakes and move on.

Talking Points:

  • Everyone makes mistakes! Don’t be surprised when you mess up and don’t wallow in self pity, either. 
  • Spend your energy on analyzing where you went wrong and learn from it! Don’t let your past ruin your future.
  • Be like Thomas Edison who failed 10,000 times before making a light bulb. He saw his failures as the way to success. See your failures as the way to your success.
