The older I get in life the more I catch myself thinking, "if only I knew that (insert number) years ago". For instance, I am taking an amazing course right now in health informatics systems. If I only would have known a lot of this information before we developed the progress notes for the office it could have been golden! Why is it that my brain works this way?
Tonight I was thinking... dangerous, I know... but, I was recalling all the times I read self-help or leadership books in which valuable nuggets of wisdom were ascertained. Instead of grabbing them and running I have had a habit to dwell on what could have been had I known these nuggets earlier. Or what about all of the times where I learned fantastic new clinical techniques, and thought about a certain patient that could have used it several appointments ago? My point is focus on today, and maybe tomorrow, and accept that yesterday has passed.
Beginning tonight I challenge myself and my blog-tastic readership to look forward, because it does not matter how fancy or rusty your car - if you are looking in the rearview mirrors all of the time you are eventually going to end up a wreck.
