Good Morning,
Watching a recent Sci-Fi movie rendition of one of my favorite Anime shows from the 1970’s –80’s, called Space Battleship Yamato, there was a scene where the captain gave advice to one of his officers. The officer, serving as Acting Captain, had to make some tough decisions. Crew members died, but the ship was saved so it could continue its mission to save the world. The acting captain questioned his leadership ability. He asked the sick and dying Captain if he did the right thing.
The old man’s advice was profound. He said:
The results are not there for us to brood over. What we should do doesn’t lie in the past, it’s here, right now.
The past is behind us. What has already happened is done. We can choose to learn from it, or not, and look forward for our future.
And while it is important to remember, we must not live in the past and brood over it.
Life is in the now, and our path, whatever path we take, is before us.
When we face challenges, we need to look around us at what we have right now.
· Who is there now who can help.
· What do we know now that can help.
· What tools or resources do we have now that can make a difference.
Focusing on what could have happened or what we should have done is not there for us to brood over.
Our life is here, now.
Let’s not waste it.
Enjoy!
