Move on

“Even God cannot change the past.” – Agathon, ancient Greek poet

We intellectually understand that the past – our past – cannot be reversed or undone.  Yet we too often choose to live with the the anguish of guilt, regret and resentment; we choose to harbor desires to somehow undo, or return to what is now past.

It’s sometimes possible to make amends for harm you have caused, or misadventures you’ve followed.  But it’s not possible to go back.  Why live as if you can return?  Why live in regret?  You can choose to move forward, you can choose to put yourself on a better path.  You can design a better road map and restart your wonderful journey.

It’s time to take your eyes off the rear-view mirror.  It’s time to move on, to move forward toward your better life.
