Feeling Regret?

6/27/2015

I mostly don't “fall for” regretful feelings anymore... the feelings I've had when reflecting on the results of my own decisions had led me to the point of nausea in the past.

I had this major shift in my life as I realized what I felt to be my biggest regret at one point to be actually be the very gift that sparked a piece of my true life's work: for people to create a life of purpose for themselves and to listen to their inner wisdom.

This is why I felt so compelled to share what I did in the video, when asked the question by a friend: “What do you do when you feel you've made a major life mistake?”

Perhaps instead of just getting what we think we want, we get what we actually need by way of challenging experiences

I feel that the experiences we may want to take back actually allow us to:

1)discover our passions

2)build skills

3)relate to others

4)learn presence

I continue to be shocked by the above outcome of seeing this "regret" as my greatest lesson, as at one time I really did so surely feel I had simply messed up my life :0
