Have Regrets?

Sunset, Woman, Silhouette, Meditation, Evening

We all have them.

The dictionary tells us that a regret causes us to feel sad, repentant or disappointed over something that has happened or perhaps a missed opportunity.

It seems that regrets can linger for a lifetime.

I am not qualified to offer a professional diagnosis of the problem and its solution.

But, I can tell you what I do to minimize the effect of regrets in my life.

If the remedy is an apology, I apologize. Even if your apology is not accepted, you did what you could. Move on!

Some people are incapable of apologizing. That’s to their detriment and so they will continue to keep that regret as an impediment to their happiness.

Some regrets have no remedy. When that occurs, I use the regret as a learning opportunity that will guide me to never repeat that mistake!

The world will always be there to beat up on you.

Stop beating up on yourself!

If not today, when?
