“the very best thing you can do in that situation is focus 100% of your energy, your time, and effort on creating the best possible outcome from that position for those you love and yourself. And every tiny bit of energy given over to feeling bad detracts from that effort and results in a worse outcome for everyone. It means less effort available to create the best outcome and a little bit more lost and wasted on feelings of regret, grief, and remorse that serve no useful purpose. The 1% do this naturally. They know or rather they never forgot to seek and find the benefit in every situation they face. They know that feeling bad has no value. They know it is pointless, a waste of time and energy that will simply slow them down on their journey through life. They know that the only reason to experience anything, the only thing to seek out is the lesson, the experience that will make them stronger, wiser and better equipped as they progress. They go forward with the resources from every experience and drop everything else.”
