“You can’t make up for lost time. You can only do better in the future.”
Ashley Ormon
Oh lost time. It’s so sad. The wisdom you gain as you get older and the desire to instill it on a previous version of yourself.
But we can’t go back!
And we need to give grace to ourselves. We (probably) did the best we could with what we had at the time – the wisdom, experience and courage we had at the time.
We also need to make better choices. Don’t waste the regret. Don’t waste the missed opportunities, the wrong choices, the times fear held us back or insecurity kept us small. We can’t go back, but we also don’t have to stay where we are. Learn. Grow. Do better.
