Looking back and wondering if it could have worked eventually hurts more than trying and failing.

About This Quote

The pain of regret can be much more difficult to deal with than the pain of struggling to make things work. If you are wondering whether or not you should have or could have done something differently, then you are probably feeling regret. Regret is a strong emotion, but it is all too easy to deny its existence. The pain of repeatedly wishing that you had done something differently can be quite overwhelming.

Tell yourself that you don’t need to feel the pain, because it will pass eventually. You may not believe it now, but eventually, you will realize that all of this hurt was worth it. Keep working hard and focusing on your goals, and you will see that everyone wins in the end.
