HINDSIGHT IS 20/20

2.4.08

There’s something odd about endings. They seem to give birth to heavy bouts of good ol’ fashion guilt – a useless emotion. If you don’t believe it’s a complete waste of energy, take Wayne Dyer’s suggestion from his book Your Erroneous Zones, and spend the rest of your day feeling guilty and see if it changes the past. It won’t. Guilt cannot alter history.

It goes without saying that with the passing of time, we are often provided with the gift of retrospective insight. And with it we see a situation more clearly than we did in real time. Hindsight is 20/20 and perhaps indicative of the universe’s sarcasm. When we rake back over the past, it’s easy to pinpoint the places in our lives where we wish we had acted or done things differently. We naturally want to revise history and apply our new-found wisdom to the past. But it’s too late. Yesterday really IS over.

You can allow your guilt to define the rest of your life or you can let yourself off the hook for having not acted in ways that reflected your higher self. Do not stay bound to the energy that connects you to your mistakes. Forgive yourself. It’s crucial to your well-being. Be creative. Whatever you wish you had said – say it. Whatever you wish you had done – do it. Then let it go. There’s plenty of right now to pay attention to.
