I just got off the phone with one of my closest friends and she was in a rather contemplative mood. She was evaluating the choices she's made in her life and was questioning her judgement on each decision she had made. This was sparked by a HUGE argument that she had had with her soon to be ex-husband before she left for work tonight.
Everything happens in our lives to build character and mold us into the people we were destined to become...in my opinion. To me, there's really no point in regretting any of the choices made in the past, simply because they're in the past. You can't change the circumstances or the events to make things any better or any worse; you just have to learn from each experience. The good thing about experience is that it prepares you for the next experience and makes you stronger. It shows you what you're really made of, lets you know who's really in your corner, and shows you what should or should NOT do in the future.
It's really important to be open minded though, because it's not wise to harbor any resentment towards others or any resentment towards yourself because of the decisions you made at any particular time in your life. Be patient with yourself and love yourself. Mistakes are not bad things at all...they just make us feel a little uncomfortable at times. In the grand scheme of things, living life with no regrets opens your eyes to see the world through different lenses and appreciate all that you have. It also prepares you for all that you'll receive in the future.
Be thankful and grateful for each and every experience. Appreciate the lessons and learn from them. Share your experience with others to enrich their lives and share your knowledge in an effort to reciprocate information. You never know who needs to hear what you have to say...
