A Moment I will Never Forget.
If you have been looking at the weather carefully, you will know that the weather of yesterday wasn't the same as that of today. Yesterday, it was cloudy at 12 noon, and today, it is sunny. Yes, that is how the weather patterns are, but so are the situations in your life. There are always ups and downs. So stop crying over spilled milk because tomorrow is not going to be the same.
A few years ago, there was the Mastercard Foundation Scholarship, which I missed so bad. If you know of this scholarship, then you may as well as much know the benefits that come with it and the possibility it has to change a person's life. A fact to know, I had worked tirelessly for that scholarship and had blamed myself for weeks.
If I had done this or that differently, I would have grabbed that chance once and for all. I lamented, shut down, and locked myself indoors for days, but then, for how long will the tears and the pain keep me in there? Had to walk out of those sad moments and find myself in the light once more.
In life, we experience a lot of things that come with regret. It could be as a result of a relationship or a business that has failed for us, or even actions we wished we hadn't taken. That said, clinging and holding onto what is already gone will in no way fix the past. It only takes away the energy, the energy we can use to make things right.
💠Understanding the meaning behind stop crying over spilled milk.
This phrase simply means don't waste time worrying about what you can't change.
- You did not pass your exam well for the semester, so don't waste your time on it. You can do better next semester.
- You couldn't buy the car you wanted to buy for the year? Try the next year, don't go silent over it.
- You promised yourself to save some good money from your job, but couldn't; you don't need to cry too much over it. You can try your best next time.
- Do not lock yourself up crying when you want to get to a point in your life, and you are still not there yet. Show strength and do better.
There are always new opportunities coming your way where you can improve on yourself and not make the mistakes you made earlier on. You can't refill a spill cup, true, but you can always pour another. Those points above at the best ways you can understand the true meaning of not crying over spilled milk.
Why We Struggle to Let Go
Assume you love something so much, maybe a new car you just received from a friend. Because of the love and passion you have for the particular thing, it becomes difficult to let go sometimes. In the same vein, when you have a goal to accomplish, you want a scholarship to finish your education to place yourself on higher ground, and you miss it, yes, it is very painful. You would find it hard to let the hurt go because to you, that was your breakthrough.
Other common reasons include:
- The feeling that you should have known better and done better, but it still failed.
- Fear that people will mock you and laugh at you because you may not be progressing in life.
- You want to support someone or be there for a group of people, but it becomes complex because you are unable to earn the amount of income you always dreamed of.
- You see others get ahead of you, so you are in haste to catch up with them.
You should certainly know that every person you admire so much or feel is ahead of you in life has once upon a time spilled their milk before, but tried again to make situations better for themselves.
How Do You Move On and Rebuild
Personally, when I experienced these things myself, I had to take a few steps to move on and make things better for myself.
- I accepted whatever happened to me without excuses. It helped me accept life as it was, as I worked harder to do better for myself.
- I learned from my past mistakes and did my best not to repeat those same mistakes again.
- I considered my personal life, taking good observations of the wrong decisions that I ight have made along the line.
- I never held grudges against myself but forgave myself for my mistakes.
- I made new plans for myself and thought about new ways and means to still get myself to higher heights.
- I prepared for the next time, the next tomorrow, getting myself ready for whatever is ahead because I know it won't be the same.
What You Should Do Along The Line While Moving On.
If life troubles you. If the tomorrow you so much dream about feels like never near, I want you to be strong because it is the little strength that you have that keeps you on.
The Joy At The End
After all the disappointments that you may come across as you walk through life, experiences will always make you the best teacher of lessons. You will know more and share more. You will hurt less and be more pleased with the decisions you make, because you will always make the right one.
