  Speaker 3: Welcome back. Do you know the answer to this week's
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: trivia question? The question was what does the word regret mean?
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: In its most basic sense, The answer is to feel
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: sorrow or disappointment over something that has happened, especially something
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: we wish had gone differently. Regret is the emotional response
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: we have when we look back and wish we had
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: made a different choice. It can be an natural feeling,
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: but if we hold on to it too long, it
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: can keep us stuck in the past. Learning from regret
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: can be healthy but living in it can prevent us
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: from moving forward. Now you know, letting go of yesterday's
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: mistakes is important because you cannot move forward well if
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: you are always looking backward. Mistakes can teach us, but
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: they were never meant to become permanent chains. When we
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: keep replaying past failures, we drain today of peace, confidence,
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: and hope. Growth begins when we accept that the past
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: cannot be changed, but the future can still be shaped.
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: One way to let go is to learn the lesson
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: and name it. Ask yourself what the mistake taught you.
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: Then carry the wisdom forward instead of the shame. A
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: second way is to practice self forgiveness. Speak to yourself
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: with honesty, but also with grace. Remember bring that everyone
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: falls short. Sometimes. A third way is to focus on
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: today's next right step. You do not have to fix
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: everything at once. You only need to choose one better thought,
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: one better action, and keep moving forward. As we close
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: out this week's episode, I'd like to leave you with
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: this final thought. Your past may have shaped you, but
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: it does not have to define you. Yesterday's mistakes can
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: become tomorrow's wisdom if you are willing to learn, grow,
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: and keep going. As c s Lewis said, you can't
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: go back and change the beginning, but you can start
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: where you are and change the ending. So until next time,
