It is strange that in so many cases we do not regret the things we have done, because despite the failure, the hurt or rejection, there are valuable lessons to be learnt and insights to be gained. Further, and perhaps more importantly, we emerge from those experiences a little wiser and more resilient.

On the other hand, we usually regret the things we were too afraid to do, and we constantly find ourselves wondering ‘what if’ we have taken the chance. And unfortunately, we rarely get the opportunity to try again, and if we do, the circumstances are quite different from the previous occasion. However, if a second chance is presented, will you have the courage to take it?

 

Throughout the day, we invite you to revisit this quote. Below are a few questions you may wish to ask yourself, and those who journal may find them especially useful:

• What are my regrets (so far) in this life?
• How many of these regrets are a result of things I did?
• How many of these regrets are a result of things I did not do?

 

 

Best wishes, and have a great day!
