Regrets

This chapter is dedicated to all the people who regret.

"The worst regret we can have in life is not for the hundreds of wrong things we did for the right people, but the thousands of right things we did for the wrong people." - Internet

I am sure that everyone in this world has at least one regret because living a life without even having a single regret is only a fantasy. What are your regrets? It doesn't matter how many regrets you have. If you only have a few regrets, it shows that you are considerate and careful when making choices and when you are acting on them. You rarely act on whim because you have figured out how life works, or you at least have a basic idea on how to act towards each situation. If you have a lot of regrets, it shows that you have made a lot of mistakes along the journey of your life. You are still trying to figure out how life works.

Regrets are mistakes which we wish we have/haven't done. It's completely fine to have regrets because there is no one in this world who doesn't make mistakes. At least once in their lifetime, everyone makes a mistake which they regret later on. It's hard to avoid having regrets because the moment you make a choice, it doesn't occur to you that this could be a mistake. You make that choice with complete faith and you believe that it is the best option. So you act on it. But later, when the outcome from the choice you made is bad or unsatisfying, you start regretting the choice you made.

It's hard to stop having regrets because you only regret something after you get to know the outcome. But don't be discouraged. Regrets happen because of mistakes and mistakes happen because you are trying. So keep on trying. You may make a lot of mistakes. You may gain a lot of regrets. But as you keep trying, you will notice that the process of having regrets is slowing down. That's because you have learned from your past mistakes. Your mind doesn't allow you to make the same mistakes and regret the same thing all over again.

But there are some situations where you could avoid having regrets. When you make a choice, always consider what will happen if you DON'T make that choice. If you will regret making that choice, then don't make it. If you will regret not making that choice, then make it.

Sometimes, things are not as simple as that. You will have to make choices which will always disappoint someone no matter what choice you make. You will regret disappointing that person even though you know that you didn't have any other option. In those kinds of situations, my advice for you is to accept your regrets, let it go and move on. It's useless to fuss over a regret you had no power to even try to prevent it from happening. Keep in your mind that you can't always satisfy everyone when you make choices. So make the choice you will regret the least.

As time passes by, you will eventually come to an understanding that having regrets is a part of life. That's how you grow up. You could slow down the process of having regrets but you can never stop having regrets because everyday, every hour, every minute, every second is a lesson to your life. You learn everyday and make mistakes along the way. That's what life is about. Never keep an aim like living a life without regrets. That kind of aim will make you look down on yourself when you have regrets and then, you will stop trying at all. So always remember that it's completely fine to have regrets as long as you learn from them. It's fine if you don't have a life without regrets. Regrets are not meant to drag down people, they are meant to raise them. So never regret about having regrets and never regret about the amount of regrets you have.

My biggest advice for you in this chapter is to never stop trying in fear of having regrets. It's better to regret about something you tried rather than regretting for not trying at all.
