Word of the day question. ( imposible )

I was a bit confused about de él in this sentence from the word of the day.

Regresar al pasado para cambiar tus decisiones es imposible. Lo que tienes que hacer es aprender de él y vivir en el presente.

I found this in an old Lazarus 1907 post.

"Él": like "he" in general, and also like "it", but used with feminine things (and only after preposition).

So is de él refering to tus decisiones?

sorry for my bad English (my native language is Spanish, I'm learning English) but I hope you understand me.

  • does not refer to "decisiones". Refers to "pasado(past)".
  • Here "él" takes the place of "pasado"(past)

Return to the past(pasado) is impossible, learn from the "past(pasado)" and live for today.
