Do u live with regret?

Question

Recently I had a situation where I wish I could turn back the clock and change what happened. Unfortunately u can only move forward and can't change the past. Easier said than done though. Do u live with regret? and how do u go about getting that guilt out of your system?

Answer 1

No, I learned a long time ago that I had to find peace with things in my past.  If I didn't then the past would eat me up.  You are correct, the past can't be changed, but, we have the power to see that it doesn't happen again in our life and to learn from the past.  I don't know your situation but I do know that you have to put it where it is-in the past. And leave it there.  Best to you.

Answer 2

I had many situations like that when I wished I could change the past,..and I think all the people in this world has this type f situations. Yes, some days before these "incidents" I was in depression...but that just passed...

You shouldn't live your life with regret, .Life goes on. Never give up! And live in present, not in past.

Answer 3

For me its my faith in God.

I used to regret having an abortion which goes against my beliefs.  It was hard to let it go.  Then I just started praying for forgiveness and asking God to give me peace about the situation and I believe he did.  

Now thats what worked for me.   IDK any other way.  

Answer 4

no i dont' live in regret cause like u said u can't go back. so u don't have a choice but to deal with it and move on. the only options  u have is too not make the same mistakes again, thats all u can do. so i dont regret things i just see it as a learning opportunity. there is no point of wishing to make it go away i'd rather use that energy to make sure i don't make the same mistakes again. at one point u  have to let it go, learn from it and move on. no time for regrets.  

Answer 5

I have a lot of regretful moments in my life. the thing I learned though is don't focus on the past. Sure you messed up, or missed an opportunity or whatever, learn from it and don't make that same mistake when your presented another opportunity like you had. I've also decided to go back and apologize to the people I've wronged and try to just start over with them build a new friendship.
