2. Move on and Learn from Your Mistakes
Everyone makes mistakes. After all, regrets are a part of life. There is a choice, though. You can either cling onto and nurture your regrets or take it for what it is – a lesson. Everything that didn’t go your way and every questionable choice you made has the potential to be a learning experience. And it doesn’t have to give you shivers up your spine or keep you up at night.
A strong woman doesn’t let regrets keep her back or make her fear every future choice she makes. Instead, she harnesses the opportunity for what it is. Maybe the things she tries and says may be wrong at times, but that also means she knows how not to do things. It didn’t work this time, but at least a strong woman has more information going forward. She has a greater chance of getting it right the next time.
One of the best traits of strong alpha women is that they stay focused on the next step, not the last. Tough women are preoccupied with the present, not the past. She knows she can’t change the past, but she has space to move in the present. It is here where strong women can learn, adapt and succeed. It is here where life truly lives.
An alpha woman won’t let the past hold her back, and she won’t let anyone else do that, either. Although she will own up to her mistakes and apologize when necessary. But, she will never dwell on things she can’t change.
