Avoiding new regrets

Regret does not bring back missed opportunities. But it can prevent you from taking current opportunities for granted.

There’s a good reason why regret can be so painful. It reminds you not to make a similar mistake again.

Though you cannot escape the regrets you’ve already created, you can make positive use of them. You can learn from them and be motivated by them.

With your choices today, you’re able to avoid being burdened by additional regrets. You have the opportunity to leverage your past experience and thereby improve your future.

Instead of being more regretful tomorrow, you can be more thankful. Rather than wishing you had done things differently, you can be satisfied with your choices, priorities, and actions.

Consider what you can do right now to make that happen. And let your regrets recede further and further into the past.

— Ralph Marston
