Have you ever judged your past decisions using the knowledge you gained later?

But is that really fair?

This is **hindsight bias** ,the tendency to believe that past events were more predictable after they have already happened.

Because of this,many are unnecessarily harsh on their past selves.

Time- it teaches

Experience - it changes perspective

Growth -it is about learning from experiences that only time could teach.

Always remember the person you are today exists because of everything you went through.

Sometimes, wisdom doesn’t come early.

It comes exactly when we’re ready to understand it.

What is something you judged yourself for… but later understood?
