How many things have you done in the past that you now wish you had not done? How many things have you failed to do that you now wish you had done? We are all guilty of regret at one time or another no matter how hard we try to avoid it.
Regret is quite painful yet powerful at the same time. Regret is like experience, a great teacher. With each regret we are given the opportunity to learn, to adjust and to improve. It is with these regrets that we can make changes in every aspect of our lives to make tomorrow even better.
When you are faced with regret, let yourself feel it for a moment, but only for a moment. In that moment you create negative energy, but don't think you are going to harbor it. Instantly begin to think of how you can turn it into something positive.
Refuse to wallow in painful regret. Challenge yourself to learn from your mistakes and do something about them. Your past is your past. There is nothing you can do to change it, yet you can indeed change the value you get from what you’ve done in the past. The value is in the lessons learned. The value is in the changes made to ensure you never experience that again. The value is in the goals and plans than stem from something you regret.
Remember don't regret your past for long. Instead focus on the regrets of your past as roadmaps to your future. Whatever your regrets may be, move beyond them. You are now ready to step confidently ahead, more wiser and more experienced and with more solid, tireless determination than ever before. One day you will look back and think......it all started with a regret.
