What decision do you want?

What decision does Claudia of 2027 want Claudia of 2022 to make?

It's very clear.

Or the best decision making heuristic there is.

you're at a juncture, what would you tell your best friend to do?

When you ask people that when they're trying to make a decision, say, what would you tell your best friend to do?

Everybody always knows.

So I think that's it.

So remember, the main thing though is don't let it bog you down.

Use it as a tool for thinking, not as a tool for wallowing, not as a tool for ignoring, but as a tool for thinking.

There's a difference between a regret and a mistake.

All right.

So you can make a mistake and not regret it because you say, oh, you know, you immediately learn something from it or it was a worthy it was a worthy mistake.

It is a regret is something where you have where you look backward at something that where you had control, where you had some agency, you did something wrong and it sticks with you.

It doesn't go away and it sticks with you for a very long time.

So there's a big difference, for instance, between I can make a mistake

and actually not regret it because it's not significant enough to me to linger, right?

So that's the difference between a regret and a mistake.

It's basically the duration of essentially the half-life of the negative emotion.

There's a huge difference between regret and disappointment.
