No regrets

Is there a past moment in your life that you regret?

Is there something that you wish it hadn’t happened?

Is there a person that you wish you hadn’t met?

If you do regret,I’d like you to take a framed picture with a person who ignores you now and break it.

I want you to look for a photo on your phone or computer which was taken at a point in your life when you were happy,but now it just depresses you and delete it.

And then,I’d like to ask you: did it change anything? The past? The present? Maybe the future? Because I don’t think so.

The action of constantly trying to "break" or delete that memory is called regret.I believe that overthinking of what happened and how it turned out in an unexpected way,makes us believe that we shouldn’t have lived that moment at all.I also think that is completely wrong.

At that moment,in the past,we were thinking that we were right,we were taking the right decision and we were going to live happily ever after.But our life is not a fairy tale,even though certain moments make us believe the opposite.Of course,we do get to experience unexpectedly amazing feelings but just because those feelings were not permanent,it does not mean that we should regret them.

We should think as every single past situation as a lesson.I know that this seems like something that an adult with experience would say,but we can’t deny what is true.

You should take the risk if you think that you’re going to take the right decision.

You should try if you think that your choice will make you happy.

You should hope,even if you may get disappointed.

Do you want to live with the regret that you didn’t try? Do you want to live with the regret that you tried and it wasn’t as you were expecting?

Well,you shouldn’t live with regrets at all.

Just live.Hope,try and you will succeed.Or maybe you will fail.But at least,you’ll experience something that you wouldn’t have known about if you hadn’t tried.

If you keep regretting moments,you will collect so many of them that you’re going to regret your whole life.But,the life that you were given is meant to be lived,not regreted.So,analyse the situation,try to find happiness and don’t worry,if you don’t find it,then it was not the right moment.Try again and you will see that happiness will be the one who finds you when you expect the least.
