Regrets...

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." - Mark Twain

If I think too hard on my regrets the tears come out....

I think I'm too nice to people

This is a fine thing, nothing to regret, in my book. I know how being "too nice" can mess up a life, I've done that several times. But I also know how it feels when I've been an *** somehow. I prefer the aftermath of "nice".

A lot of times, long afterwards, the things I severely regretted, the boats that sailed without me or the ships that didn't come in, turned out to look like good fortune in the end. I don't live in regrets. I just roll outta bed and do something with each day that seems to most need doing.

Mostly, I wish I had spoken better the truth I believe, when I held back because I figured folks just wouldn't appreciate it. I'm trying to make the better course today on that item.

The biggest plus in my life has been all the determined avowed enemies who have decided to come save my butt in my times of need. You have to care enough about something in the beginning to pick a side, and it's only those who can do that who can care enough to be a real help.
 
For better or worse I have always lived my life with the idea that there's too little time to wallow in regret.
Disappointed in myself for something I did yesterday? Today I fix it, make it better, and move on.
Disappointed in myself for somethiny I didn't do? Do it now and do it big.

Life is too important to ponder negative or depressing things. Pick yourself up, kick yourself in the ***, and live.

But what about the one that got away?
 
Try again.
Be more proactive about fixing that aspect of your life... don't have to simply accept it.

Fish more.

But what if she was "the one"? ****-up of the century type thing? Can you still accept it and move on? Will there ever be another like her?
 
Who knows?

What I do know is there is a damn good chance that the real true 'one' isnt going to be found by sitting on your couch being mad at yourself/depressed.

I'd be willing to bet that 5 years from now you thank God for that unanswered prayer.
 
I don't believe in regrets. Are there some things I would do differently given another chance? Sure. But I don't regret the choice or action I took at the time. That is what made me the man I am today. That is a man I am content with.
 
Regrets come from situations and choices that you'd probably do the same thing if you've given the 2nd chance. Thinking over it, obsessing about it, you come to think that you would do different. But as a matter of fact, you would just do the same.

It is also the feeling after ************ (censor edit: medical term for pleasing yourself). The urges are gone and you feel stupid for doing it.

Well sometimes, on some occasions for somebody at least.
