Regret

“It is better to say I wish I would’ve; than to say I wish I wouldn’t have.”

Since hindsight is (metaphorically) 20/20, we have a tendency of looking back at positive events that we didn’t participate in and kick ourselves for not being involved or for getting out too quickly.

While not experiencing positivity could be a disheartening thing; experiencing negativity could actually be more detrimental and damaging. Although I am not advocating to justify lack of progress or commitment to improvement; before we commit to something we should do our best to evaluate that committing to that thing wouldn’t create more problems than potential benefits because according to the “Negativity-Bias” when of equal value, things of negative nature tend to have more effect on one’s psychology than things of equally positive nature do.

This is why factual-thinking is integral to how we process our call to actions.
