No... I have a great life, a few up and downs but they have made be a better person for them. I have worked hard, reaped the benefits and consider myself very lucky. I have tried to treat people I know with respect & kindness and on the whole have been shown the same in return.
So life is good, life is happy and I hope for people less so through starvation and illness, a change of fortune. xx

No regrets, just lessons learnt.
I've been through bad places, and I've always come out the other side, not necessarily smiling, but knowing myself and others better as a result.
If I hadn't made the choices I've made in the past, I wouldn't be who I am now, and I quite like her!! |

I have a few regrets from my earlier years- ie not keeping in touch with friends , grabbing opportunities when they presented themselves through lack of self confidence.
Currently I live on the "lifes what you make of it " philosophy so plan on no further regrets in future. |

I've got heaps of them... many that haunt me everyday for the rest of my life.....
After-all regrets are not only about thing you did !!.... they are also about things you never did ....
Many of my regret relate to missed oppertunities in situations that can never come around again..... so yep I have many regrets!!  |

I guess the cruel torture is that we can’t change the past.. so when people who’ve became lost in the past, but who are so dearly missed in the present will always be ghosts that visit every day… |

As the song goes: Regrets, I've had a few, but then again, too few to mention...
Yup, I have a couple of regrets of things I did, they are part of my past and my life.
One was unavoidable; the other I could have avoided and have learnt from my mistake.

So true.... I miss my dad soooo much...my one big regret is that I never went on holiday with him once I'd become an adult, and I know we would have enjoyed it so much  (where is the tearful emoticom???) |

"do you have any regrets from life or do u run by the "no regrets"
"
I have none.. I believe everything happens for a reason... Even the bad things... Yes some things were a bad choice but some of them lead to wonderful things like my kids...
I can't regret anything as I'm now happier than I have ever been... And I think everything led to this..

Regrets, yeah of course, and I think if we're honest we all have regrets, it's how we go about them that make the difference, do we dwell on them and therefore see them as regrets or do we learn from them and consider them a lesson. |

Yes everything happens for a reason…… but all too often bad things which happen are caused by the action or inaction’s of people who won't be effected by the negative impact of those reasons ...
Leaving the people who are effected with no ability to find consolation in the theory which advocates everything happens for a reason … |

I have no regrets, as my life choices have made me who I am today and I'm happy. There are some things that I wish I could have handled better, but they were lessons learnt and a realisation that you have to let go of some things to move on.
Not religious but I heard the following on the Radio and think it is very apt.
The Dalai Lama was once asked what surprised him the most in life and his response was man, “because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then he dies having never really lived." |

There are a few things which, in hindsight, I wish I hadn't done but there is always a positive to come out of each and every fuckup, ie a lesson learned - sometimes a hard lesson, but a lesson learned nontheless.
That is the problem of being an Aries -open your gob first then think about it later .... toooooo late, damage done  |

I have had many regrets... feckin' loads of them:
Stabbing myself in the leg.
Giving people second chances when in the pit of my stomach I just know I shouldn’t.
That last drink.
Recipe experiments.
Leaving things where I just know they’ll get broken.
Not telling a few people to fuck off sooner.
When did I ever think I was gonna wear that!
Giving too much trust.
Not giving enough trust.
Standing in the wrong place.
Not having a baseball bat handy.
Saying ‘yes’.
Saying ‘no’.
Not making a call.
Making a call.
Letting go of the wardrobe door.
The list goes on…. but the important word is “had” rather than “have”. My regrets last anywhere between 5 seconds and 24hrs, after that they all become learning experiences for the future. I guess as I am constantly looking for things to do next, I don’t find it productive to spend time looking back at the things I can’t change….. what’s done is done, it’s what we do next which counts.
I am very much attracted to people who live in the now and look at all the things they can do…. even if the ‘can do’ is ‘I can do nothing today and enjoy it’.
I find people who fill their life with old regrets and ‘if only’ just as energy sapping as those who blame everyone from their past for having a shit life now… the boss who screwed them over, the parents who didn’t understand, the ex who was a bastard… sucking sympathy from any passing sap.
Life really is too short to fill it with crap and just hope it gets better somehow on it's own. Your life really is what ‘you’ make it. One of the most outstanding examples of this outlook I have seen lately is Mandy Sellars (Extraordinary People – The Woman With Giant Legs) . Possibly the only person in the world with her exact condition, so if ever there was a case for someone to feel sorry for themselves and say “why me”…. instead she has a fucking amazing attitude to life. If only more people took a leaf out of her book.

I have a few regrets, but i know i cant change them and wondering what life would be like 'what if' is just a waste of the life that is.
Yesterday is history, tommorrow a mystery but today is gift. Thats why its called the present.

Nothing in life is wasted. All experiences, good or bad can be learned from. I've had many times when I've looked back on something and wished I'd taken a different route, but hindsight is great after the event. We do what we think is right at the time and if that proves to be so then great but if not then put it down to another experience and learn from it. |
