People might think of course! I could have changed this, this and that about this one time and then I could have a better life. However there’s no guarantee of that. Maybe the thing you regretted could have change your life for the better but it could have also made it worst. You never know because everything happens for a reason. There might have been some times where I reacted with an “oh dang I should not have done that, that was a big mistake” but I don’t regret it. I wouldn’t want to go back and change anything because it’ll affect the life I have right now.
I wouldn’t have been through all of my experiences or met the people that I’ve met if I changed the course of my life halfway through. You might face disappointment and think why does this always happen to me. But the truth is that life is suffering and we have to do what we can to overcome it and seek happiness. Looking at the big picture instead of the one time you regretted something makes you realize how minor some of your “big problems” were. The stress you feel in the present or at the moment will eventually die down and there will be other things to worry about.
The law of attraction, everything you think about will be attracted to you though the universe whether it’s bad or good. Your thoughts attract the energy and thus positive thinking leads to positive changes. There’s no point in dwelling in what has passed, its time to get up and move on. So stop living life in regret you can’t change what already happened but you can change what’s going to happen. Mistakes happen its only human nature, its also human nature to freak out and start worrying.
If you want to go back in time to say something, because you missed the opportunity. Just think from now moving forward tell yourself this is your only chance. The time is now and there’s nothing to lose. Just say what you want because you really have nothing to lose in your life ( okay but like think logically and realistically before you speak). All of this is cliche, live your life, do whatever you want. But instead of just hearing it and saying it, apply it. Do something about it. There’s no reason for you to not speak your mind. See the situation first, don’t say EVERYTHING you want. Know when to hold back and when it’s appropriate but don’t fear. If you like someone tell them, if someone is bother you tell them. Isn’t it better to know then to live wondering?
