Fail and see the crippling power of regret
One of the most positive things that can happen to people is when they encounter a setback, and they experience regret. Once they experience regret, they realize how crippling it is.
When you're always looking back, it's very hard to look forward. When you're always trying to do a post-mortem on things that happen a few years ago, it's very hard to look at the future and be very hopeful.
If you want to succeed, you have to look ahead.
You cannot always keep looking back. You cannot engage in regret. This is why regret is so crippling. One of the best things that can happen with failure is that you will see how crippling regret is.
If you fail hard enough, you may realize that by looking at the past, you're not doing yourself any favours in the present. More importantly, you're not laying the ground work for future success.
There are many kinds of failures that will fill us with regret. There are many kinds of failures that will make us doubt ourselves. Instead of trying to run away from these failures, truly soak in the emotional gravity of regret and self-doubt.
Celebrate it.
Resolve to no longer regret, to no longer be in doubt. That's when you start seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.
