Embracing Hindsight: Rewriting Life in Real Time

“We write to taste life twice, in the moment and in retrospect.”

Anas Nin (French-born American diarist, essayist, novelist, and writer of short stories).

I love this quote because hindsight gives you another chance to see another side and rewrite the experience differently. If this could be translated into realtime and not just words on a page, how amazing would life be? We could correct all our mistakes, shortsightedness and be more judicious and fair. We just have to hit pause and think about things differently in that moment. It’s not a big ask, right?
