No regrets

Do you have regrets in life? Personally I don't I see everything I have ever done, even the really bad stuff as life lessons. I am happy with where I am and if I did anything different things wouldn't be just how they are. I wouldn't be as strong or as wise. What about you? do you have any regrets? if so what are they? how do you think things would be different if you could go back in life and change these?

Yes mistakes make us who we are and who we become.

I don't usually regret things that had happened. This is because it serves me a lesson every time I did something wrong. The things I usually regret are those things which I haven't tried to do.

That is a great point. The things we wanted to do but didn't. hmmmm It might not still be to late though.

I regret not able to start earning a little earlier in my life.Well as I know that it is of no use to be upset about the past I try to compensate to whatever time I have lost.

That is understandable but if you did earn more earlier, then how would things be different for you? Are you sure that they would be better? you might be greedy or unhappy anyhow. Being broke makes us stronger, trust me I know.

DO I have regrets? No. HAVE I HAD regrets? Yes, of course. Many of them. Yes, I distinctly remember regretting things, but I cannot remember even one thing I've ever regretted - and I think that is the way it should be. If we lived constantly regretting things, we would never make progress. We would be weighed down with what might have been and not be able to move forward. Instead, we try to rectify the situation, especially if the cause for regret was an unkind word or action on our behalf, or something that we CAN rectify. We try to LEARN from the situation, so we do not repeat the mistake, and then we move on, hopefully a better person, more equipped to handle the next challenge.

Yes we all feel regret when we feel we wasted our time but try and find what you have learned from sticking it in, finishing that major, and turn it into a lesson. That is all you can do now.

That is just what I meant too. Sometimes you might feel like you regret something, but once you get where you do want to be in life, if you wouldn't of done that you wouldn't be there!
