Forgiveness & Expectations: Jesse Mogle on Overcoming Past Regrets
Instead of burying my head in something else that isn't going to get me closer to a solution. I could have slammed the phone down and gone outside and done jump roping or walking steps, because at least it's a physical activity and I could say: well, I'm not solving this problem about the house, but I am at least keeping myself in shape.
