Regret

Regret will not change the past. Worry will not change the
future.
We have all done things which we wish we wouldn't have done.
When this happens, deal with it, make amends if needed, and move
on. Wallowing in regret does you no good. After you have taken
the actions that you need to take to correct your action, learn
from your mistake and continue to focus on living life as it
should be lived. Regret will change nothing.
Along the same lines, just as regret will not change the past,
worry will not change the future. Plan things out the best you
can, but don't spend time worrying about the outcome. Simply be
as prepared as possible, do the best you can, and deal with what
may come when it comes.
Regret and worry are two time wasters that weigh on your mind
and drag your energy down. Resist the temptation to let these
two thieves get a foothold in your mind. Bohdi Sanders ~

I do not really struggle with regret. There are so many things,
in my past, that I could have done differently, or not at all.
My choices have caused pain to myself, and others at times.
However, it was those trails by fire that lead me to where I am.
It was those choices and those experiences that carved out the
me that I have become. At this time in my life, I like who I am
and am eager to see who I will be.
Now, worrying about the future. I do this enough for everyone
of this forum, and then some. I think I honestly believe that my
worry and my stress can actually affect the future in some
positive way. I know how ridiculous this is. I see the negative
way the worry and stress impact me. I get sick. I suffer from
insomnia. The nightmares are ridiculous. Yet, worry is my single
biggest enemy (right after chairs).
I struggle with this constantly. I am understanding now more and
more all the time that the universe will take care of
itself....and I am a part of the universe.
