regrets

I just make sure I don't make the same mistake again. if it's something grave, i do something altruistic to compensate for it but i know it doesn't ever. i've had so many regrets in my life that i am more cautious now with my actions.

I have a lot of regrets in life and yes one of it is buying stuff without thinking if its a need or just a want. I tend to ignore it and just be happy with what i bought because i can't do anything about it, its already there right? Participating in a gossip and not thinking that i have hurt somebody's feelings is bad..really bad. And regretting the deed afterwards makes me really sad and tell myself that i'm not a good person since i did hurt somebody. What i do to correct the deed is to ask for forgiveness to the person i have hurt and ask God for guidance to never do that again. I try telling and reminding myself to always think many times before doing something so i won't be doing the same mistakes again.

I am a strong believer of the fact that it isn't the regrets in our lives that define who we are, but the way we deal with them. Of course everyone is going to make mistakes, nobody is perfect afterall, but it is much more important to take a look at the things that we regret, and think about what we would do differently if we were in the same situation at any point in the future. Knowing that we are now stronger to cope in certain situations than we were in the past should be a comfort to us, and also an encouragement for the future.

If the action that I have done hurts anybody, I will apologize to them. If the decision that I regretted is about my life, then I will just move forward, bring the lesson that I can get from that action, and try to do better next time.In our life, we will always have mistakes and regrets, and we cannot avoid such occurrence. We should learn from it and use it as our strength to live a better life
