No matter who you are or how you live, you are likely to have regrets. We can't let those regrets get us down, but instead we have to use those regrets to learn how to live better. What regrets do you have, and how can you use those regrets to live better.
Severed relationships
When a relationship struggles, don't severe ties too quickly. Instead take a time out to consider what's happening, and in time, decide how your relationship will continue.
Angry outbursts
When anger surges, take a time out, and don't react until you calm down and have time to think about the situation.
Too trusting
Enter relationships with a healthy sense of caution, take time to know people well before giving them your full trust.
Too quick to speak
It's better to listen carefully, and then respond with care in a tempered, calm manner.
Conjecture, projection, judgement typically does no one any good
Rather than conjecture, project, or judge, find out the facts and go to the source to figure out what is going on and what to do.
Be empathetic
Always try to step into the shoes of the person you are working/living with. Seeing situations from many angles will help you to make good decisions, build strong relationships, and move forward with peace and love.
In general, when deciding, I try to use the end-of-life perspective with the question: At the end of my life, what decision will I be proud of? That question puts decisions in good perspective. We all will live with regrets in life, but if we can slow down, take our time, and choose with greater love, empathy, and care, we will likely not have that many regrets. Onward.
