Does regret rule your life? I know that at some point everyone regrets something that they have done or said. Something that was hurtful against the law or something that has created a harder life than you think that you should have. Well, it’s one thing the to regret them, but to let regret rule your life is beyond what it should go.
I know of people that regret everything once said and done. Not because they really regret it but because of the fact that they had done a lot of things that they regret from the past. Things that haunt them in everything that they do. I use to be one of those people until I realized that my life was revolving around regret.
I never want to live life in regret as I did. I got out of it by doing one maybe to things. I feel better about my life and yes every once in a while I regret doing and saying something. But I don’t let it rule my life. That had become a very pathetic way of life worrying about what I said and how it was perceived as, or what I did and how that affected my future. My future is everything to me and that is when I would let the regret get out of hand.
I forgave myself. That was the first thing that I had to do. Everyone makes mistakes that we regret and that is when self forgiveness should start. That mistake doesn’t mean that your entire future is doomed, in fact even the soon to be future is not doomed. The next thing that I did was I went out of my way to proactively get my things together and make sure that I had my goals set out so that I could always remind myself of what I want. Living in regret is not the way to live. Regret can only ruin what you want in life. Just remember to forgive yourself every time you feel regret.
