Sometimes we can’t help but dwell on something.

That hurt.

That slight.

That betrayal.

No matter how big or small.

That thing eats at us.

But, if you can’t do anything to remedy that situation, ruminating about serves no purpose.

Except to make you feel bad and prevent you from moving on.

It’s hard.

I know.  I do it all the time.

I play over the incident in my head.

I fantasize about shoulda, coulda, or woulda.

The reality is that most of the time there’s nothing for me to do.

Except rack it up to experience and move on.

You don’t forget about the painful experiences.

Where possible, find the growth potential.

The lesson learned.

But if there’s nothing you can do about it, let it go.
