There are times I think I'd like to change some of my decisions that I see as mistakes now, but I've come to realize that there are consequences for all our actions. Sort of like the physics law: for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. For instance, my marriage was a mistake and I probably would have been happier with someone else I cared for at the time. However, if I hadn't married my husband, I wouldn't have had my son who married and gave me a grandson I totally adore. Without the combination of genes, the child wouldn't exist. I realize other combinations would probably have produced an equally lovable child, but this is the one I know and have bonded with.
There are mistakes such as not standing up for myself and telling certain people to stop demeaning/criticizing/hurting me that would have made me happier. I was passionate about finishing a post-graduate degree but let family pressure and obligations keep me from it. Ways could have been found to get around those problems, but I was weak and gave in. Things like that I wish I could change. Overall my life has been pretty good so those instances seem kind of petty. I guess the mistakes regarding relationships are the hardest ones to live with. There are no guarantees in life so who knows if another decision would have been better. We can't spend all our time regretting and reliving our lives.

Sometimes, but what seems like a mistake at the time can really be a blessing. For example, I got pregnant my sr. year of high school (yikes, huh?) and that seemed like a HUGE mistake since my boyfriend was a loser and I had to raise a baby by myself and kiss college goodbye. But, 12 years later, I am married to a wonderful man, who adopted my 11 year old, I have a Bachelor's Degree and two more wonderful children. And I just couldn't picture my life any different. So if I could've gone back to fix my "mistake" would I be so happy now?
You just gotta trust your gut feelings. Don't dwell on things you really can't go back and change and embrace the choices you have made.

am only 14 but ive made my fair share of mistakes already and am sure in the future i will make alot more but i cant regret them. its like ive done things i enjoyed but then regretted but my m8 said 2 me: dont regret the things you once enjoyed. wen we say things or do things that mean something bad happens were bound to be upset and regret it and want to turn back time, but we cant so its not worth thinking about, just learn from ur mistakes. u might make the same mistake twice but eventually u will learn. u cant run away from ur mistakes. x

I have never been a "put my future on a south-bound freight & let it ride" kind of guy. My life has been & allways will be a series of well calculated risks. I count the cost then reap the reward or take the loss. That formula has made me highly successful & I would not change a thing.

Ah, but then ... how in the world would one get to be the STRONG, intelligent, responsible, caring person (and self-reliant too) that they are today?
(And my biggest regret/mistake -- that short disaster of a marriage to an abusive, violent sociopathic ex who has continued to torment me even now ... approximately a decade and half after divorce with the latest -- which was a burglary of MY HOME in August 2006).

Nope. Most of my mistakes are now all of my pride and joy, so no. And they help you learn. Life wouldn't be life if you didn't have any mistakes.
