Now, I say regrets come last. I'm so disappointent to myself for the decisions that I made. I really regret what i've done. I choose a path that i think it's the best way or i thought this is the way of succes yet it's not. What a life!

What is there to regret about? Why are you making more problems out of something that is not a problem at all? At a certain poin we all decide what to do. At that moment it is the best decision. If it doesn't work out the way we expected that doesn't mean we are a loser, we took the wrong decision or we need to regret it. This is what you say now, after you had that experience, which did change you in your opinion. You tried, you did your best, be proud of that. You learned from it and now or in the future you can have benefit of that. And remember all paths will lead to the same goal in the end, even the longest worst one. As long as you focus on that goal.

If we choose to live in regrets we will never accomplish anything nor arrive anywhere. Let our mistakes be lessons in our life, one that will make us stronger. I know it is easier said than done, but it can be done nonetheless.

Mistakes are actually the path that teaches you to be successful in life. I think the choice you took may be wrong but it is not the end of the world yet. I think for as long as you live there is hope that you can still correct to veer away from the mistakes you have taken.

Each of us has a path to follow. Though there are regrets, let's accept it gracefully so that we will not be depressed. I also have some regrets but as time passed by, these are already included in the past. But when the realization was still fresh, we can not evade the stress and the feeling of regrets. God is there to watch over us.

Hi, That is true, I've been there, it was the decision that I really really regret so far, I felt so stupid and weak. That decision affected my life today, and I'm still trying to get back what I lost even though it feels like I'm being punished for my stupidity. But then I realized it was a very good lesson for me too. Before, when I am in a challenging situation, I give up easily, cry, complain, and feel sorry for my self. Now, I can manage difficult situations by myself and I have grown stronger.

Hi Tinetine! You need not regret for any of your decisions. There isn't anything like 'right decision' or 'wrong decision'. Yes, it's right that based on decisions the situations may change but as per me you need not regret.

One thing avbout regret is you can not relived the moment. maybe it would be better if we couuld . then maybe we would not have to live with the memory of that regret. we could just do a makeover instead.

Always remember that failure is the key to success. We are not here to be perfect all the time. We commit mistakes and wrong decisions that cause our failure. Yet we learn from it somehow and try to never commit that same mistake again. Don't be afraid to make wrong decisions just do whatever it is you feel if good and right

That is the best way to perfect living our lives--when we make mistakes. Otherwise, how would we know we needed to shape up or change our plans or actions? Don't despair, throw away those negative feelings of regret because what's done, is done. Move on and be ready to fail again or make wrong decisions again. Life is not perfect, but we just do our best to improve after each downfall. Cheers! You are not alone.

We regret a lot of things we have done that resulted in a bad way. But we should realize that with the wrong decisions we have made comes the lessons we learn to make better choices in the future.

Yes i agree! we usually realize the wrong decisions we made when it was already done. we have a quote on our language "nasa huli ang pagsisisi" it means regrets really comes last. I hope that it will serve us a lesson that we must decide very well before deciding.

yes we always make mistakes, but in every mistake there is a lesson we should learn, that should help us make better decisions next time.

we stand in the cross road many times. This is about decision, decide whinch path we should go. Making mistakes is normal, if you find it early,if can turn back and make a wise decision again. This is life lesson you have been taught. come on. promising future is still waiting for you even you made a bad decision before.

Somethings are learned the hard way. We need to go through life's challenges to grow and be better individuals. We may feel stupid after following an intuition which was a failure; however, the mistakes we commit are best considered as lessons. Forgive and forget. Forgive yourself and move on. The first step is never easy but once you get through it, everything will follow. Be positive!

It's the freedom of choice. We can't undo the past, but we can learn from it. I believe we are allowed to make mistakes, so we can learn from them. sometimes we can correct the mistakes we've made, though sometimes we can't (consequences) so when we make choices we must choose wisely. Sometimes realizing we made a wrong turn in the road, will push us toward the right one. Keep smiling and move on :)
