“I can’t undo the story or erase the mistakes. All you can do is keep the pencil sharp to write the rest that’s left. Ita Portugal?
With all mankind. I find it impossible to find someone who has never regretted it. Today I bring you one of the most complex reflections of human existence: repentance.
- One of the most concrete ways to illustrate and understand how and why we regret it is to look at old photos.
- When we look at a photo taken a few years ago and come across the clothes we wear or the haircut.
- The most common question we ask ourselves is.
- “How could I use this?.
In situations of repentance, it works the same way, and the questions we ask ourselves are, “How could I do this?”
The answer is just one: doesn’t that matter?Strange as it may seem; and if only now do you realize that you would never do that again, it is because you have changed, evolved, learned.
Learning occurs when we realize that there was something inappropriate in the way we behave and that we might have acted differently, for any behavior there is a consequence and repentance arises when we see that the consequences of our actions have been or have become negative.
One of the best ways not to suffer is to accept. Acceptance frustrates the harmful force of repentance. Everything in life can be learning, just wanting.
We built our history book not only with beautiful and perfect chapters, it is very easy to see that we could have acted differently after everything went wrong, however, some people suffer too much because they repent and end up getting sick and unable. Continue? It would be like losing sleep nights for a day for having the courage to wear a very sticky outfit or hair, for paying a monkey at a party, because he didn’t take a job offer or even because he dated someone you wouldn’t be around today. As they say, “who?” Remember, this moment made sense.
Let’s understand some basic rules of the game of life that will help us overcome regrets:
There is only one recipe for managing repentance and living life, and this recipe is: forgive yourself!More important than the forgiveness of the other is the forgiveness that comes from us, because those who do not forgive do not believe and do not understand that the other has forgiven him.
It is very common to use the mechanism of denial to avoid confronting certain realities, often the fear of looking and repenting prevents us from continuing. Does repentance become a problem when we fail to overcome the barrier of forgiveness and achieve learning and acceptance?When, stranded on the road. Most of the time, we try in vain to go back and correct the mistake, or refuse to accept it. None of this works, so: come on!
