But in this process you must take responsibility, own up to your mistakes, and manage your missed opportunities. You can either let your regrets hold you down or use them to motivate you and learn from the experience.

Face reality and recognize that every decision has a consequence. Wrong choices may lead to a horrible situation, but you can rise above it when you acknowledge that it happened. Don’t sugarcoat it or pretend it was a dream. Wake up and address the problem head-on. Set your mind right. You must make sure all the negative thoughts are out of your head. A positive mind-set is an important factor in leaving a legacy. You want to do good and make up for some of your past mistakes. It can happen, but you must be patient. Seek out the motivation you need.
