The Real Reason Why You Should Never Live With Regret In Your Heart
That past, continuous disappointment, hurt, set back, or mistake set you up to make better decisions in the present so you can avoid that feeling you have lived through over and over again.
This also means that you are actually being mindful of your actions and taking the steps to do better. Progress is a much better alternative than accepting what you don’t like, correct?
People who don’t feel the full gamut of their emotions are people who cannot identify anything that they can change to improve themselves and their lives.
Sure, it is okay to wish that you have done better before. But eventually you will have to let that internal hurt go. Unfortunately, we cannot return to the past and amend our decisions. However, each of us has right now to make things right.
We don’t always learn the lesson the first time it is given to us. And that’s okay. We will eventually!
So don’t regret the identity you held back then. You needed her. You needed him. Who we were in the past propels us to become an improved, wiser, savvier, more fulfilled version of ourselves in the present and future.
