…until you know better. Then when you know better, do better.
This is the quote that’s been playing in my mind like a broken record lately:
2023 has been a very rough year at Sharing Solace HQ. I’ve been berating myself with all the ‘coulda, woulda, shouldas’ – not just for the past few months…but pretty much for my whole adult life! {Honestly, it’s almost as bad as when I was in the depths of my ‘Maddie grief’ a decade ago.} It’s not worth going into all the details right now…but I’m sure it will find its way out in future blog posts.
I’d like to think I know a little bit more now than I did back then – about myself and just about how things work in general. I KNOW I am doing the best I can with the information I have available to me. Then, when I get more information I take that, digest it, and use it to do the best I can with that new information.
It does me no good to use the information I have today against ‘the me’ of last month, last year, or even yesterday. All it does is cause me to suffer by ruminating on the past {and how I wish it could have been different ‘back then’}. The best I can do is wipe the slate clean and start fresh – right here right now.
Will you join me? Let bygones be bygones. Let’s focus on the present and aim toward the future.
If you would like some help ‘doing better’ please check out some of our past blog posts then be sure to find a time for a complimentary call to discuss whatever you’d like.
