You’ll stop living in “what ifs” the moment you understand this.

Whatever path you choose in life —
there will always be pros and cons,
positives and negatives,
trade-offs and sacrifices.

But most of us make one common mistake.

We focus only on the negatives of our current choice
and fantasize about the positives of the path we didn’t take.

We rarely think about the negatives that could’ve come with that other choice,
the ones we might not even be aware of.

And we almost never focus on the positives of the path we’re actually on.

That’s why we look back with regret —
instead of looking back with gratitude.
