About This Quote

When people are faced with regret, they often start to focus on what they have lost or what they couldn’t do. However, it is better to focus on the positive things in your life instead. If you have everything you have lost before, there is no reason to sit in the library and feel sorry for yourself. Instead, you should go out and do things that bring you joy.

You should take advantage of all of the free time that you now have by reading and meditating like Nelson Mandela did. This idea that we should never forget our pasts or give up on our goals is called “looking forwards, not backwards” and has been a cornerstone of motivational speakers for years.
