Listen, The trick is to not live in the past but to live for the present and the future you know what you regret and your past and if you are wise grasshopper you will remember not to make those same mistakes again or to try though your afraid. So long as you can say hay I will move forwarded and I will not be hindered by fear of rejection or failure, because I know that if I don't try then It will dwell. So live life to it's fullest take chances and Remember that fear is the mind killer, Fear not and your mind will over come...........Good luck and live well.

Well I would have liked to be in a different place in life now but looking back I always did what I thought was the right thing to do at the time. If I could go back knowing what i know now would i do things differently? Probably, but the choices we make make us the people we are so Id be a different person today, maybe someone who hates themselves. We all want to be happy, so im sure when you think about the choices you made, you must have made them with good intentions even if things went wrong. Always do what ypou believe is the right thing for you and you wont see a decision as a regret.

When faced with a regret, remind yourself of what you learned from that experience. Then remember things since then that you actually used what you learned. For example, I really regret telling a secret 10 years ago - the person was really hurt when they found out. But I learned from that the importance of keeping people's confidence sacred. Since then, I've become a much better friend to people and they know they can trust me because I would never do that again. Try to find peace in that. If you're regretting something recent, apologize.

There are only a few options:
Dwell on them - this will get you nowhere and is damaging to your mind.
Think about it and try to fix it - if it's something you can change, do what you can to change it or rectify things. This must be done sincerely.
Learn from it - If there is nothing you can do, learn how you messed up and move on promising never to do it again. This again must be done sincerely.
If you cannot stop dwelling on something it is best to learn some form of meditation technique that will clear your mind. Single point meditation would work. You need to be able to see the thought coming, realize its damaging you, and then go back to the point of meditation. This will clear these thoughts or at least give you the ability to see them for what they are.

Well, the things you did wrong or shouldn't have done, you have to believe the scripture from the bible that says, "God works ALL things for good to those who love Him ....." That means all the good things and the bad things. And as far as the memories. If they are really bad for you, just ask God to help make you forget them. If the involve someone that hurt you, then you have to forgive that person first or you will always have the memories.

That is a great question. I am at a transitional point in my life and all those things are on my mind. I am slowly starting to see more of the future shine through, rather than dwell on the past. I think that realizing all you have is the present is a good way to go. The past only belongs to you in memory. The future only in the imagination. But the present is where your power is. And it will change your future pasts and future futures.

I am mature enough now to realize that all things work together for the good of those who love God and who are called according to His promises. If God has allowed it to happen to me, then it has a purpose. I may not can see it now or even in a year or two, but God knows what is best for me. Sometimes we do go thru some undue hardships because of our hard headedness. But in the end, what the devil means for our bad, God allows because He will work it out for our good. Like I use to be an abused wife by my first husband thru no fault of my own. Had I have listened to my parents and not gotten involved with him, I could hav saved me and my children(2) some of life's most horrible hardships. But with all of that. Now I can help and sympathize with those who are hurting. I can identify with people who are struggling or hurting in their most inner parts of their being. I can be there for them. I hope this helps. May God Bless

Someone once said it best:
The only thing I regret is having no regrets.

I can relate to that i have a few. people say to just move on it isn't that easy. you have to find a way to forgive yourself and know you learned a valuable lesson. when ever i get down over things i find it easier if i write down how i am feeling. Good luck, focus on the positive. i hope that helps it did for me
