"Do not brood over your past mistakes and failures as this will only fill your mind with grief, regret and depression. Do not repeat them in the future"
- Swami Sivananda
About this Quote
This quote by Sivananda encourages us to not stay on our past errors and failures. It is important to gain from our errors, however it is not beneficial to dwell on them. Doing so can result in feelings of sorrow, remorse, and anxiety. Instead, we need to focus on today and the future. We should use our previous errors as a knowing experience and make every effort to not duplicate them in the future. We need to concentrate on the positive and use our mistakes as a way to grow and become better. It is very important to bear in mind that we are all human and make mistakes, but it is how we gain from them that matters. We need to make every effort to be much better and utilize our mistakes as a way to end up being more successful.
