Do you regret doing things you wish you hadn't or not doing things you wish you did?

if you've done something really bad, then it might be things that you have done
otherwise things that you haven't done, definitely!

I don't believe in regrets - thats like wishing your life didn't happen.
Have you ever heard an old person wishing they hadn't done this or that? I haven't . . . But I do hear them wishing they had done more, so I endeavour to do everything I can . . . within reason. . .

Just got to see Yosemite for the first time, and I truly regret not having gone sooner. So I guess I regret something I both have done and should have done

why to regret about things you haven't done. Do it now! Stop starring at you monitor or TV, get up and do something. Or just stop regretting. It's a waste of time!

If you truly understand in the way top performers understand you'll realize mistakes are oppurtunities that push you in new directions. Until you have the mindset down pact, you'll want to be careful because some mistakes can be detrimental, but when you get your mindset down then mistakes are a good thing. Work on the way you think.

I regret the things I never did. I'm very passive and tend to hold everything back and not do what I want. A bad habit that I'm trying very hard to break.

i regret not doing the things I want to do, not often enough or things I've yet tried.

Why regret anything?
Things happen for a reason.
If something didn't happen, there's a reason why.

Actually, I don't have room in my life for regrets. It's useless emotional baggage.

What I haven't done. Life gives you opportunities and you should take them as they flash by. I feel crappy for missing out on them.
