And if I stay there then all I will be doing is wasting my days trying to &#8220;figure out why!&#8221; What is gone is gone!<\/p>\n<p>The only really valuable question is: <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;What Can I learn from it?&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p> Because this question then leads me to ask &#8220;What do I choose to do now?&#8221; Now this question is really empowering and worthwhile asking!!<\/p>\n<p>The &#8220;why&#8221; question simply perplexes, leaves me disempowered &#8211; that I might never get out of &#8211; and hardly ever leaves me satisfied.
