“I'm not a big believer in regret. I think every mistake has a purpose.”
What this quote means
Regret traps us in the past, preventing us from moving forward. This quote offers a transformative view: every mistake, every detour, has a purpose, a lesson to impart. It encourages us to see failures as necessary steps, not sins to atone for. In a success-driven culture, it rehabilitates error as a vehicle for growth. An invitation to self-compassion and trust in the journey.
