How Can You Make Up For Wasting Time?
Honestly: You can’t.
The time that is spent is gone.
You can never get it back.
…
…
…
That’s it.
There’s nothing more to say about it.
If you have wasted years of your life, you have wasted those years. Period.
Trying to make up for it will not help, for no matter what you do you will not be able to go back.
Nothing will change.
The time is lost.
Learn to accept that, for it is a fact that will never change.
You cannot do anything about what has happened.
But you can do something about what will happen.
If you learn to let go of what has happened you can still take the lesson and use this time to make changes going forward.
If you keep thinking about the wasted years you will miss the present in trying to make your future make up for your past.
In doing so you waste more of the present, will rely more on the future, and become more disappointed when the future cannot make up for the time you lost.
