Day 202: Today is National Toss Away the “Should Haves” and “Could Haves” Day. The intention is that we should write down our regrets on a piece of paper, and then throw them in the trash. Both mentally and physically. This is my kind of activity for a Smatterday.
My favorite quote on the subject, and a mantra I repeat to myself often, is this: Don’t stress the could haves. If they should have, they would have.
Sometimes, in our seemingly average, ordinary lives, it is easy to spend time scrutinizing what we said or did to get us where we are today. But the crux is, we’re here, regardless of the past. And all we can do now is move forward toward extraordinary. That’s easier if we toss away our regrets. It makes the journey a lot lighter.
