Regrets
As we get older, we may regret those things we did badly. Actually, we can always learn
from our mistakes and hope to never make them again. For example, if I failed a test
because of a lack of study, then I know that I must study hard for the next test. Remember
too that some regrets are not based in reality, and we may waste time thinking that they are.
We have to be honest with ourselves and live in the now. The only things we can control are
the things happening now, in this moment.
Many people can say that we are the only responsible ones regarding all the mistakes we
have made; nevertheless, they might be wrong. Take for instance, as silly as it may sound,
that you leave a bottle of water on your desk while you go to the restroom, and suddenly
meanwhile you’re absent your cat jumps onto the desk knocking over the bottle, so this
causes that the water drenches a really expensive comic that you borrowed from a friend.
Then, your friend decides to unfriend you because of that. So, to have left the bottle there
was hypothetically a mistake, but... was it really your fault that the comic got soaked?

If you let a negative thought to take control over you and to make you feel the only guilty one
about any situation, you could (possibility) hardly move forward or overcome the situation. If
this is the case, you must first start reflecting on the situation in order to come a conclusion
that let you know whether or not you are the real responsible or guilty one. Even if that
comes to be the case, you should (recommendation) be softer and nicer to yourself in order
to make significant progress during the process of self forgiveness, or at last instance, you
could resort to certain kind of help, for instance, psychologists or a close friend of yours.
After all, you might feel better if you trust your burden to a friend or a relative.
A person that has accepted and understood all the elements needed for a successful and
meaningful progress should be ready for the next step, which is putting them into practice.
And if they achieve it in the best of the ways, then they may be better in many aspects.
All in all, remember that it’s in our human condition to err and make mistakes. We will always
find them in our lives, and cannot avoid them. However, as mentioned before, we always
move forward because we can learn from our mistakes.
