So what if you've made a wrong choice? Why should this be bothering if this is perfectly fine to not make the wisest of decisions all the time. Yet, the's something inherently wrong about wondering whether you could have made a wiser decision. So, you're better off ploughing on without a care in the world about the consequences than sitting in the house moping all day long about something you had thought in the past that might not have been right after all.
Why is it wrong, you ask?
Well because you are second guessing yourself. You fear you made the
wrong choice, and missed out on what may have been a good thing. What
you have to internalise is that you can never objectively know if your
decision was good or bad. Once life branches, we can never know what
shape the branch might have taken otherwise. We often fantasize that
the path not taken would have been so much better, but life is too
complex with too many variables to make that anything other than a
complete fantasy. There is just a good of a chance that other paths
would have been far worse 5 years down the road than the one you chose.
The point is that for better or worse, the path you are on is the
'right' one. You chose it for the reasons you did at the time, which is
what we all do, and the only thing we can do because we aren't
clairvoyant. If you're looking for a clairvoyant's true insights are like, look no further than here.
