Astonishingly timely post for me—I have been reliving a lot in recently and reflecting on what I learned and how I lead. Doing so does not necessarily reduce the pain, but it turns a negative into a positive.
Its like taking responsibility for events that happen to you. Even when its not your "fault". Once you take responsibility you gain the power to do something about the event.

Are you in the midst of a writing project, Jim? What is causing all the reflection and reliving?
It was just a blogpost that brought up a lot. I am impressed with your insightfulness and mortified by the typo in my comment!

Yes. It also becomes the process that give you perspective to see what you can control (and do something about) and what you can’t control.
Exactly, the trick is to know the difference. Which is still a challenge at times.
A valid post. I like that you explain; the importance of commitment, and using experiences as opportunities for growth.

Thank you for your time.
