Mistakes!

It looks like we all make them but do we really?

Here's a different take.

In the moment when you do something it looks right!

It is the best thing to do.

In that moment there isn't anything else.

That's the thinking which looks real.

Later that can change.

Oh dear! Turns out now, I don't like what I have done.

A new perspective has emerged.

New thinking looks real.

Then the regret

Then, 'I should have known better'.

Then self-criticism.

But the self you are criticising was doing their best.

Can you see that?

Can you bring compassion to how you see yourself?

In any moment you are doing your best.

We all are.

If you would like to live without regret, you can make a start with a conversation with me.
