[dropcap2 variation=”coffee”]I[/dropcap2]t was a blustery, cold winter day. I was in college, and I had just pulled one of those regrettable relational stunts. I had hurt someone. Badly.
Now I was walking across campus, staring at the sidewalk, eaten by guilt. As my nose and ears began to freeze, words from a wise mentor floated up from somewhere deep within: “What’s done is done. It’s what you do next that really matters.”
I stopped dead in my tracks. I whirled around and headed back to my dorm. I had amends to make.
Guilt is nasty. Once allowed entrance, it’s relentless, persistent, unforgiving. It wants to rule you.
Pull guilt out of your heart. Take a good look at it. Stare it down. Yes, what you did matters. What you do next matters more. Get on it.
What’s done is done. It’s what you do next that really matters now.
