We all make mistakes knowingly or unknowingly. But a few mistakes that I made in the past still haunt me. How do I overcome those?

    Doing these things is not easy and may take some practice on your part, but for me it boils down to the following process:

    • be honest with yourself and others, and own up to it, don’t try to pretend it was somebody else’s fault. Apologise to those impacted if you need to. Accept the consequences.

    • figure out what you can learn from it - not necessarily the specific details of this mistake but what you can do next time in similar circumstances to avoid making the same sort of error.

    • stop wishing for a better past - it won’t happen, so move on.
