Hello friends
I'd like to shed some light on that thing we call regret, that baggage that follows us everyday. That thing we dare not to relive, that thing we are ashamed of, and never want to open again.
The thing is that the feeling of regret is only indicating that your present self does not agree with what your past self did. And what is so spectacular about regret is that you learned something, isn't that great? Regret is basically wisdom and knowledge. When you feel regret you have changed, the person that did that shameful thing was not infact entirely you at all, because you wouldn't have done it today would you?
So by just taking a deep breath, looking into yourself, and forgiving your past, less knowledgeable self of his/her actions, peace can be found. Regret is like a chip of rock with a diamond in it, so the next time you screw up, forgive yourself and feel a bit wiser.
It's all about picking yourself up again, and I like to apply the phoenix metaphor here..
Rise from the ashes, be reborn, and burn ever so brighter than before!
