“You can’t turn back the clock. But you can wind it up again.” —Bonnie Prudden
One of my favorite shows that I remember growing up was Quantum Leap where the main character (Dr. Sam Beckett) invents a way to go back in time within his own lifetime. During this time travel experiment, by accident, he finds himself leaping into other people’s lives and correcting mistakes that were made in their life with remote help of his colleague Al. Once a mistake was corrected, he would leap to another person’s life and he was trapped in a never ending cycle of fixing others mistakes.
I have often thought about some things I would like to fix/correct if I could go back in time. I could probably list hundreds of things if I really put my mind to it. A few would be for example, harsh words I’ve said to my wife, save a girl and her best friend from getting into a car that they crashed and died in, all the times I’ve hurt someone with my words or actions are just a few.
Well, we can’t turn the clock back and change our past mistakes. But we can take our current time and reflect on what we can change now and in the future to make ourselves better people. We don’t have to repeat the same mistakes if we take some time to learn from them and not get stuck regretting our past. Our mistakes are life lessons. Destructive behaviors can start by dwelling on mistakes and regrets to numb the pain of those situations that we may play over and over like a broken record.
Wind up your clock again and focus on one thing you can change for the better today, then you can do it again the next day and so on.
