Regret is often the bitterest pill to swallow,
and regret is a painful emotion that often
gets worse over time, rather than better. To
avoid feeling regret someday, here are ways
to steer clear of this destructive mental state:
1. Don’t let someone else dictate your dreams .
In order to live a full and happy life, you have
to be authentically you. Never allow someone
else to tell you what career path to follow, or
whom to love. Allow yourself to know what you
enjoy and what makes you happy, and then
make sure you are free to do so. Don’t be
afraid of being misunderstood by others – the
only person that really needs to understand
what you are doing is you.
2. Be careful of the company you keep. Even
if you aren’t worried about losing your
reputation by surrounding yourself by bad
people, negative people they will inevitably be
a negative influence on your spirits. Instead,
open your life and make room for the people
who make you feel good about yourself, your
life and goals and who will be a positive
influence.
3. Stop faking it . You should never have to
hide your true self in this world, especially if
it is to make others think better of you. Being
authentic to yourself allows you to fully enrich
all aspects of your personality.
4. Keep growing. Learn something new,
however small, every day . This keeps you from
missing out on new opportunities.
5. Never give up . Learn to see set-backs as
lessons, not failures and use the lesson to
grow.
6. Be kind, Always. The most painful regrets
often involve critical words, ego clashes or
selfishness. Remember that kindness is what
makes people missed, not cruelty.
7. Don’t procrastinate – It goes faster than
you think. Never assume you have an unlimited
number of tomorrows. Get started on your
dreams now!
8. Take responsibility . Be an adult, admit your
faults and weaknesses, and make the changes
to get your life and maturity in order.
9. Don’t settle. If you know you deserve
better, move on. Period.
10. Let the little things slide . There are
enough big problems in this world. Don’t
borrow worry.
