Summary
Can we ever really live a life without regrets? Would we even want to? The truth is, our mistakes provide us with information that can lead to important growth. The choices of the past have brought us to the place we are now, which is perfect. Listen as Monica and Michael discuss the difference between rumination and reflection, and how to use regret as a tool for transformation.
“We can completely transform how we view both failure and regret from negative, unfortunate events to beautiful parts of growth and elevation.” – Michael Berg
