After living, being happy or sad. Trying new things or not what do you think is more likely you will regret. Or for those who lived most of their lives what do you regret? Do you regret things you did or things you did not do ?

I think I couldn't have changed much about my career or relationships, so even if there were things I should have done differently, it wouldn't be different. I regret things I didn't do. I regret not showing some of my loved ones that i care about them, because once they are gone it's late. A also regret not asking for advice when i needed it.

I regret the things I didn't, because we never know until we try, and sadly I never capable to try it..,

The words of regret because of reflex, probably not important, but the words of regret at the thought, that came out of our mouths, or ringing in our brains, will greatly affect our lives. A lot of people who fall for remorse, would be a mistake he had done, going past the dark, and so forth. In my opinion, people who dropped because of remorse, are people who can not appreciate life, whereas those who rise from the sorrow, the people are amazing. Of course I have regrets, but I always try, to not slumped because of remorse.

Honestly, I would have to say that if I was going to guess what I will regret near the end of my life, it will not be about my career or lost relationships. It will be about the loving relationships that I have maintained over my lifetime and wondering what I could have done to let these people know how special they are to me and how much they mean to me. I try so hard not to regret things in life, as it seems like wasted effort; however, I have already started to do it. My dog and loyal companion turned 10 this year and I am starting to see him struggle more at daily tasks and I just can't help but wish that I had taken him on 1,000 more hikes, drives, vacations, you name it! Beyond having those types of regrets, I just find it too darn frustrating to look backwards in life and ask "What if?". Whatever didn't. So move on.
