On regret

"Never regret. If it's good, it's wonderful. If it's bad, it's experience."

  3. .....or maybe when we feel a sense of regret, instead of telling ourselves it is wrong to feel that way, we see the emotion as a messenger to re-visit, re-evaluate and then forgive. Its the only way to truly let go of regret which ultimately will lead to resentment and then we're in REAL trouble!!!! :)

  5. "Regrets... I've had a few..."

    I think Awareness has a good point. It's unhealthy to be ruled by regret, but I don't want to ignore it, either. I'm trying to use these kinds of feelings as healthy learning experiences.
