Last weekend I was thinking about wishes and regrets in my own life, and I couldn't avoid connecting it with key words like: decisions, challenges, opportunities, learnings, investigations, introspection and so on and so forth .... I've decided not to connect it with negative expressions because for me all experiences good, bad even sad are the result of what I am now.

How many times do we say something that
we immediately realized was not the right thing to say?
How many times do we look back
on an event and think, if only I had. . .
How many times do we do something
that we wish hadn't done?
You can't change what has been said.
You can't change a past event.
You can't change what has been done.
Do you call it regret, sorrow, repentance?
Do you think about what might have been?
Do you relive an event the way it should have been?
Forget about regret, and focus.
Focus on today,
not on the past.
Focus on what you can do,
not what you didn't do.
The only thing to regret is
living in the past
The only thing to feel sorrow for is
not living each day to the fullest.
The only thing to do to repent is
to sincerely say, I'm sorry.
Don't live your life
regretting yesterday.
Live your life so
tomorrow you won't regret today.
