My fortune of the day: Make it a rule of life never to regret and never to look back.
Ha ha ha.
I'm not sure why this seems so ironic, but it does, especially on a day like this where the pitter patter of the rain falling and mellow music playing in the background has already set the stage for a contemplative mood, which almost always involves looking back (though not necessarily regretting). And even though it is cold outside, I've gone so far as to open the windows so that the smell of rain can encapsulate my house.
The truth of the matter is that reflection is therapeutic for me. If I never looked back, how can I make wise decisions in the future? Life is a learning experience, but choosing to ignore everything that got me where I am today means that I would end up learning things the hard way all over again. And in my opinion, there is nothing smart about that.
So now I'm left with only one question: Who writes these fortunes anyway?
