I have examined them, accepted responsibility, forgiven myself and moved on. This is how we grow.

No, i'm tired of looking at the mistakes i've made and starting to look at the positives choices that I could make from now on. There is so much negativity in this world. That I would like to be a possitive influence to other.

What's done is done. What's the use of looking back to lost choices? Unless there is a chance to correct the mistakes, all I care about is the choices I have now, and the choices I'll have in the future.

Yes, I do look at mistakes I've made in my life, and realize I could've made better choices, but I don't believe in having regrets. I'd rather take each and every experience, try to get a lesson from within the experience, and learn as best I can from my experiences. I try not to browbeat myself as I know God'll forgive me, so it's then up to me to find the courage/strength within to forgive myself and to humble myself being asking to be forgiven by whomever I may have offended.

Some of them, No. Some of them, yes - they were learning experiences that drew me closer to God & my inner self.
Through recent mistakes, or as christians would call them, sins, I have learned that
1 Jn. 1:9 is conditionally based on whether or not we obey Matthew 6:14, 15!! To sum it up, God will forgive us our sins only if we forgive all those people which have sins against us, letting go of ALL resentment and ill feelings toward them.
Jesus Christ Himself said this in Matthew 6:14, 15.
I have forgiven all those which have sinned against me, and against my family. And I have chosen to think the best of people, not assume the worst of people. It is liberating within, and brings true inner peace to have forgiven others, letting go of all resentment toward them, and thus knowing I am forgiven by God.
I hope your question was sincere, asked with a pure(not perfect, but with pure intent) heart.
Because my answer to you, was given with an honest sincere heart.

Yes, absolutely! It pains me with some of the choices I've made and I can't ever change them. It will effect my life until the day I die. Yea, I would do alot of things different!

I think we all look at our mistakes in life and regret some of them. But it is better to learn from them and try not to remake those same mistakes.

Yeah sometimes, but it's done now, but I can learn from my mistakes to help me in the future not to make them and help other people from making similar mistakes.

I have learned from some of my mistakes...but I don't look back at them anymore...I look to this day and to living it as well as I can so that my tomorrows can be good.

If you went back to change anything, would you? Would you still be the same person you are today? All of your experiences are what makes you "you". If you don't like your life then why do you keep on doing the same ol', same ol'?

Of course, who doesn't? The key is to learn, improve, and not spend life focused on the rear view mirror.
