Let's say you had a good thing going, whether it's a job, school, a relationship, or a friendship and you neglect to take responsibility for your self/actions or don't put forth effort and lose out on said opportunity (.ex. Losing your job from being late, failing out of school cuz you didn't go to class, ya girl leaves you cuz you're messing up, or ya friend gets fed up in dealing with you)

In your opinion, is it better to learn from your mistakes, keep it moving and make sure you don't make the same mistake again on the next opportunity while never looking back? Or is it better to deal with the fact you f'd away a good opportunity, pay your dues, fix those issues and go back and conquer what you should have the first time?

My first instinct is just to keep it moving and don't make the same mistake again. Now I've tried to "fix" mistakes but in the back of my mind I still feel that it's a waste of time so that made it very difficult to go about the fix if that makes sense. There is no harm is trying to fix things, but you need to have it in your mind that the outcome will be positive.

i tend to keep it movin... the only time i try to fix things is if theres other circumstances involved that merit my attention... either way you gotta learn from that mistake & some things you just cant fix regardless...

change the things you can change, accept the things you cant change & learn the difference between the two....
