Does my Crazy-doodle Regret This…?
Last month, as the Uber Eats guy delivered my pineapple fried rice and red curry with chicken, my crazy-doodle, Moose, stormed from the kitchen to the front door, jumped against the door’s window, and ripped the lovely privacy curtain that covered the window.
When I heard the commotion, I ran into the front hall, saw the torn curtain, and said “Moose! What did you do!? Baaaaadddddddd.”
The crazy-doodle could feel my negative energy. He knew I was crazy mad. So he lay down on the floor, still as a statue, and stared at me with his crazy-doodle eyes…
…as if to say, “I’m sorry.”
When Moose looks up at me with those big, brown eyes, I wonder if he has regrets. I like to imagine, he’s thinking, “If only I’d…”
But dogs don’t have the capacity for regret. (Too bad for them.)
Regret is a human thing. (Good for us.)
When we humans say, “If only I’d…” we evolve. We learn. We grow.
That’s the power of regret. When we learn to harness regret and not wallow in it, we make better choices.
That’s the core premise of Daniel Pink’s book, “The Power of Regret.”
On Thursday, we humans in the Mastermind Book Club will discuss the book.
Every month, Ted Prodromou and I choose a great book to read. On the fourth Thursday every month (August 22) at 2:30 p.m. ET, Club members meet on Zoom to discuss the book and how we can apply its lessons in our businesses.
You don’t have to read the book to benefit from the conversation.
Club membership and the monthly meetings are free. To join the club and get the meeting notices (with Zoom link), go to MasterMindBook.club.
