When we reflect back on life, there are certain things we wish we could change, wrong choices, wrong decisions, certain mistakes stir us in the face and over such we live in regret. I would like to ask you a few questions in the hope that they could help you have a different outlook to the regrets of your life. And these are:
- Did you learn a lesson or two from the incidence?
- Did it build your character?
- Did it change your life?
- Did you grow from the lessons you learnt?
- Did it help you understand your weaknesses better?
- Have you turned those weaknesses to areas of strength?
- Have you moved on after the incidence?
- Will you repeat such mistake again?
For the fact that you're able to look back and frown at those mistakes tells a lot at how much you have developed into a better person. You may not be proud of those things you did in the past but I'm sure you're proud of who you are today because your inner being has been strengthened even as your true personality has evolved through the processes. You should see them as part of the process you needed to go through to become this strong woman you are today.
So whenever those regretful moments come upon you, do the following:
- Tell yourself its okay to make mistake so long as you learn from it
- Forgive yourself and move on, the greatest enslavement is that which you bring upon yourself
- Don't give up on life's adventure, the adventurous aspect of life is in the risk taking, keep taking it, keep venturing on new things and rediscover a whole new life ahead of you
- Be yourself, follow your heart, do your thing, don't allow people's opinion dictate your life
- Be happy even when life wants you to be sad
- No room for negative thoughts
- Live above fear
- Count your blessings and live a thankful life
You can live above regrets when you begin to see them as stepping stones. You have a great life to live ahead of you don't kill the zeal with regret, do something everyday that makes you proud of yourself and keep moving on.
