I find regret to be useless to me. It just keeps me up at night if I look back and ignore what’s with me in the moment. Learning from experiences is one thing, but feeling bad about choices I made in the past is useless because I cannot change the path I am on right at this moment. But I can step off it, or course correct.

If I find myself thinking “man I could have made a unicorn startup”, I pivot that internal monologue into “how might I start to build a unicorn startup”. In my opinion, the hard thing is listening to that internal monologue and really listening to what it is saying.
