“Don't dwell on what went wrong. Instead, focus on what to do next. Spend your energies on moving forward toward finding the answer.” ~Denis Waitley~
When things go wrong, there are those people who get stuck asking why. Now I'm not saying that it's wrong to know what went wrong. Indeed, you should take stock of the mistakes that resulted in any undesirable outcome. You really shouldn't make the same mistakes twice. It's worth the long hard and sometimes harsh truth to figure this out. But believe me, after you've figured it out, decide not to make the same mistake again, and move on!
I've been among people, some close friends of mine, who often find themselves stuck at the problem, rather than the solution. What a sad place to be, really. It's a waste of time (theirs and those of us who have to listen to it) especially when the person/people doing this are leaders.
If you find yourself there, remember this quote, and move on. Otherwise, you'll be stuck in the past, and you already know where that lead you to.
Have a wonderful and positive day!
