The first peoples principles of learning that speaks to me the most is “Learning involves recognizing the consequences of one’s actions.” No matter what you do or decide, every action has its consequences, those are sometimes good and sometimes bad.
Then you make a good decision you are probably happy about it. But you should remember what you did to get to this point. For example, did you follow the advice of another person, or did you listen to your own gut feelings?
This is different when you don’t made a good decision. When this happens it is important to know that it’s normal and everyone makes mistakes. Every time you make a mistake, you learn something from that. Either how it works or how it doesn’t. Therefor you always grow by making mistakes and many of them teach you for live. In my opinion the key is to accept, what you tried is not perfect, but it is a chance to make it better the next time.
In summary, every single decision you make has consequences and you cannot really influence what happens.
