You Should Have No Regrets

~ There really is an order to life. Never discount or regret any experience. There is no wasted time – only lessons ~ talkswitheve

Contrary to what you may feel, you should have no regrets about anything you do in your life. The choices and decisions you made, felt right at the moment you made them. The outcomes may have been unexpected, even undesirable.

However, when you think about it, there is much irony. It is a catch-22 situation as, without the experiences, you would never get the opportunity to learn the lesson.

Lessons to be learned

You will have many experiences in life because of your actions or inactions. Life happens with or without your input as the year 2020 has displayed to us. There are things such as the coronavirus pandemic, that is out of our control. However, what is in our control is our response to these things.

Each of you is a unique individual, and so of course your experiences and lessons will be unique to you. No one else will have your same experiences. The lessons from those experiences are from your own (no one else’s) life trying to teach you.

If you find yourself seemingly repeating the same experience, stop for a moment. Think about it, and review it. Life will keep trying to teach you a lesson, over and over again, until you heed it.

So if you are living unhappily, there is one (or more) unlearned lesson that needs your attention. Spend some time in silence and solitude, and explore YOU. The benefits are rewarding.

It’s a popular notion that if you have no regrets, you have not lived life. However, as a human we are all flawed, therefore, we will ALWAYS make mistakes. Without mistakes, you would not have the experiences of their outcome.

How you recover, how you move forward from those mistakes, has an impact on your life. Your growth comes through your experiences. Therefore, you should have no regrets.

You should have no regrets

As you can see, there is an undeniable connection – mistakes, experiences, growth. You, however, are the common denominator. The catalyst for growth or change lies within, and with you.

The key to not having any regrets, therefore, lies with you learning the lessons that life is trying to teach you. However, that would mean taking the time and being willing, to be honest with, and listen to, yourself.

Ego, and or fear, are usually the two emotions behind your repetition of the same experience. Be willing to be open and honest in reviewing your own actions. Also, be willing and open to change, so that you can learn and grow from each lesson.

Paying attention to, and learning from, your experiences is how you live your life without any regrets.
