I like quotes like :
"Never regret. If it's good, it's wonderful. If it's bad, it's experience."
"I have no regrets in my life. I think that everything happens to you for a reason. The hard times that you go through build character, making you a much stronger person."
BUT THEN I READ THE DEFINITION OF REGRET
re·gret (ri gret′)
transitive verb regretted -·gret′·ted, regretting -·gret′·ting
to feel sorry about or mourn for (a person or thing gone, lost, etc.)
to feel troubled or remorseful over (something that has happened, one's own acts, etc.)
noun
a troubled feeling or remorse over something that has happened, esp. over something that one has done or left undone
sorrow over a person or thing gone, lost, etc
Then I began to think, how could I not have regrets or regret things. I have mourned for someone who is gone & I've had feelings of remorse over something that has happened.
Saying I have regrets is not necessarily saying I would change my past because I am who I am! ALSO I don't think I have the power to change my past! Whats done is done & I think you can only pick up the pieces and move on to be a better person. So I guess I am really torn on this post. I do think everyone has some regrets even if they say NO WAY NOT ME ... every person has to have something they've said/done that they wish they could take back. Also every person has lost someone & mourned for that person.
I've said in a post before that I regret not playing more sports & that is still true. I ran track in high school & I played softball for years when I was a child. I would stay with my Dad on the weekends & summer, he made it a point for us to be involved in some type of activity. As a child I was never pushed to be in sports by my mom. I know she was busy working sometimes 2 jobs & she did the best she could for my sister & I. BUT that's what is great about life --> I will change that for my children. I hope I will have children & I can instill in them the values & great things that come out of being on a team & active in a sport.
