Regrets come in all forms because some are irretrievable and others are still able to be changed.There are opportunities within the pain of regrets but they often require action.If at the center of regret is the realization that behavior caused pain to others there may be the path to resolution by a genuine apology.It may still be an opportunity to ask for forgiveness, or perform acts of remediation.
There are also many regrets that can still find solutions.I hear it all the time.”I wish I had gone back to school”or “I wish I could be more outgoing”or I wish I had pursued my desire to start my own business.”These and a host of different issues that nag at our hearts and minds may still be able to be filed into categories of achievements rather than regrets.
