About This Quote
Should-haves solve nothing. It's the next thing to happen that needs thinking about. The saying, "Should-haves solve nothing. It's the next thing to happen that needs thinking about," is meant to be humorous.
It is an elegant way of saying that if you think about what you want, it will come to pass rather than trying to force something into your life. This is especially true when you are struggling with self-doubt and uncertainty about what will happen in your life.
