Set it Free

Regret is an appalling waste of energy; you can't build on it; it's only good for wallowing in.  
~Katherine Mansfield

Do not taint an experience by focusing on what could have been.  Everything happens for a reason, though sometimes that reason is hard to find.  Even when an experience is negative we are able to learn from it.  We learn how not to do things, to appreciate what we have, and to always do our best.  Each moment is unique and irreplaceable.  Cherish the moments and the people in your life.  Ask yourself, what can you learn from each day?  Do not waste the future being stuck in the past.  Do not hold on to regrets for they will weigh you down.  Let experiences become a part of you but not define you.  Acknowledge the moment, learn from it, then set it free.
