Regret

We all have made choices or decisions in our past that we later regret. Some people are so stricken with regret they just can’t get over it. If you never made those choices or decisions you would have never learned why those were not the right choices. The one thing about wrong choices that we should all cherish is the lessons that we learn by making them. As long as we are not making the same errors over and over again and learning how to do things differently then we are getting smarter.

So instead of regretting past decisions we should embrace them because they shape who we are now. If you don’t like who you have become so far just know that as long as you keep learning you will change and ultimately be who you want to be. I am by far no Miley Cyrus fan but she does have a song that applies here called “It’s the climb”. The climb is the adventure you take to get to where you want to be.

Even in times where things seem like they could never get better just keep trying and learning because that is the difference between failure and success. I have read some interesting stories of people whom seemingly had overnight success. The funny thing about that is most of the stories those people were struggling for years on end before they found something that worked. It seemed like overnight success to others because they had never heard of those people but the truth is they had to bump their heads against a bunch of walls to learn and finally find what worked for them.

So the bottom line is if you have made a decision in the past and it was not something hanis that you did you can indeed live with it. So don’t regret your past as it is what has shaped who you have become now and who you will become is all up to the lessons you learned from making mistakes.
