Can we ever just "just rest on our laurels?" When is enough enough? Reflection takes us to tweaking, tweaking takes us to adjustments, adjustments changes what we started. Then we pause and in reflection we start tweaking, adjusting, changing. What a cycle.
A friend of mine in counseling, 7 years now, mentioned a - 'Trace It, Face It, Erase It, Replace It' line of action her therapist is working with her on. I told her that doesn't work, not really, We can never erase our foundations, they are fundamentally part and parcel of who we are. We can Trace It and Face it, from there we have to Accept and Forgive and move on. But hey I didn't go to four to seven years of higher education on counseling, so what do I know?

I can see how knowing what has shaped our choices can help us change our behavior, but as you said, you can't change history.
