Before You Go...How Examing Our Regrets Can Make For A More Meaningful LifeI could have stayed if I wanted to. No one was pushing me out the door. But I knew that it was time, after more than two years, to do what I intended to do: get out of the desert and head toward the coast. I was a finalist for two jobs in L.A., my stuff was sitting in a storage unit, and I was set to head back to the Northeast for a month to soak in some family time and load up on carbs.But I’m no clairvoyant, you see.
I beat myself up for a bit. I wanted to lean into that raw emotional regret, let it consume me. But I knew it would be fruitless —That’s the only way that I could take this perceived negative, learn from it, and grow. This notion is hammered home by author Daniel H. Pink, who wants people to embrace their regrets to live a more full life.Help Us Cover Your Community
