Quote of the day by Stephen Levine: Our suffering is caused by holding on to how things might have been; life lesson on how to cope with grief, not be overwhelmed by regret from American poet-author

It is completely natural to spend our life regretting our past decisions, ruminating on our failures. In an old interview, author Stephen Levine explained that instead of being obsessed with such thoughts, which only added to our grief, we should learn to live with it, accept we cannot alter the past and learn from the experience.
