regret | A | noun | 1 | sadness associated with some wrong done or some disappointment; | ||||||||||||||||||||
Living life with no regrets isn’t something positive as many people treat it to be. Having no regrets is simply stupidity. It’s like someone running 10 miles and burning zero calories. The lessons in life are learned in those moments when we sit alone to reflect on our decisions, and to evaluate the consequences. Regretting is a part of the process, it is part of the test of life, it is the culmination of a deeper understanding, and a breaking point for genuine progress. Having regrets is vital for success, but dwelling on our mistakes and not forgiving ourselves is where the problem lays. It is our inability to forgive ourselves and accept our imperfections what holds us down in our upward journey to real success. People with no regrets don’t realize the source of their misfortune and their disappointments because they lack the understanding of what it is they’re doing wrong and what it takes to change and start seeing new results (positive results); they don’t know the problem, so they can’t fix it. Those are the people who live in vicious cycles, making the same mistakes over and over; they keep whining and not doing anything about it. So people, please… Stop saying “I live life with no regrets” like it’s something amazing and positive of your personality. Ponder,Regret, Forgive, Learn, Progress and Grow. In that order. Feel the sadness of your wrong doing (or disappointment) and embrace it, accept it, love yourself enough and grant yourself forgiveness. Gather the strength of your soul to start over and move forward, with a valuable lesson which will shape your character and make you a stronger individual; an individual with regrets, but also one with amazing power to learn from, overcome and conquer adversity.
