Regret
is a natural human feeling
A lot of
people have written, sang, cried, gotten angry, blamed others and had
breakdowns and break-ups over regret….Regret is a powerful thing in our lives
Regret
holds us prisoner, ties us down, entraps us, and beats us up…
It pushes us to act from places of guilt, fear and shame
It
pushes us to drown it with food, booze, drugs, relationships, material goods….anything
we get our hands on to help us lighten the weight of it…A powerful emotion in our lives if we let it be
A life without regrets....Possible?
Yes and
NoRegrets are made up of past things…things we wished we would not have done or wished we would have done…things that have already happened…things we let go or missed out on…
As humans we make mistakes and with those mistakes come regrets….
However, it Is possible to understand the nature of regrets and limit their impact on our lives
The
cycle of beating yourself up with regrets is not the answer
Talking about them non-stop is not the answer
The
answer is understanding the nature of
your regrets, learning from them, forgiving and letting go…and not creating new
ones along the way…
This might
mean you have to make some changes….might have to face some fears….might have
to do things a little differently
I can
say my life is less and less filled with regrets and more and more filled with
contentment, happiness and satisfaction
It is nearly
impossible for us to be full of regrets and full of contentment at the same
time
Life is
really too short….to let regrets hold you prisoner…put them behind bars where
they belong Take a chance on being contented, happy and satisfied….so much better to be free

it real with Dr. Mary G.
