Even Oprah has regrets


I saw an interview with Oprah the other day.


She said she has regrets.


What?


We all have regrets.


Even Oprah.


Oprah said her biggest regret was she didn't take a break after ending her show after 20 years.


She changed her focus from her show to the Oprah Network and other projects.


Looking back, she said she should have taken a year off before jumping into something new.


She earned a well deserved break and didn't take it.


Today, in the Mastermind Book Club we're discussing
The Power of Regret: How Looking Backward Moves Us Forward by Daniel Pink.


In the
Mastermind Book Club, Tom Ruwitch and I read a book for you then discuss it in our group call.


We all have regrets and would love a lot of mulligans in our life.


The Power of Regret breaks down our regrets and shows us how our regrets are a powerful tool for self-improvement and growth.


Pink combines research in psychology, neuroscience, economics, and biology to demonstrate how understanding and embracing regret can lead to better decision-making, increased performance, and deeper meaning in life.

I have an app on my Apple Watch that tells me when I'm stressed. Of course, I don't need an app to tell me when I'm stressed. The app measures a million data points, including my heart rate variability (HRV). Sometimes I'm alerted I need to slow down or mediate when I'm chilling in my La-Z-Boy. I feel relaxed, but my HRV spikes. The other day, I figured out what caused my HRV spikes. I'll be scrolling social media or scanning the news headlines when I receive an alert.I don't feel the spike...

Not just felt satisfied—but lit up, alive, like my three-year-old grandson when he does his happy dance. Somewhere along the path to being responsible, respected, and reliable… we traded spontaneity for stability. We’ve mastered our craft, built reputations, led teams.
