Do you have any regets or made any big mistakes on your life?

Question

i am 19 and feel as though i have made so many mistakes and huge regets in my life.... i just wanna be happy!

Answer 1

i regreat not changing what i complained about

Answer 2

Mistakes are perceptions.

Droping a cup of coffee while carrying need not be looked at as a mistake, instead understand that it happened due to lack of attention.

It is just an effect for the cause.

Likewise all your perceived mistakes are effect for a certain cause. You do not have to regret for that. The child cannot learn to walk without falling. Learn from experiences and work towards achieving what you want with almost involvement.

Answer 3

Doesn't everybody?

Mistakes are necessary/just part of life, as this is how we learn to do better the next time an obstacle comes our way, by not making the same mistakes again ~ They're also necessary as a learning process ~ we grow emotionally through making them/solving them.

Don't be too harsh on yourself. Everyone makes mistakes. You're not the only one.

Answer 4

I regret not spending more time with my parents before they died.

Answer 5

i think everybody has felt that way at one point or another, but that's a part of growing up.  if there's someone out there that says they don't regret anything they've done, then they've probably lived a sheltered life with someone constantly guiding them and waiting on them hand and foot, and who really wants that? there's no independence in that and there's definitely no room for learning.

happiness never comes easy, but that's what makes it all the more gratifying when you do finally have happy moments.

i don't mean to sound all philosophical, but really happiness is not a destination, it's a journey, you'll always have bad moments, but if you learn from the bad experiences,  you'll always have a greater amount of happy moments.

Answer 7

This one is fifty five plus years old.

This one has made many mistakes.

This one has no regrets.

To be happy, find the cause of your suffering, live correctly and do not bring more suffering into your life by your choices.

Be well.

Answer 8

TONS of mistakes - all for which I am very grateful.  Repeating them would make me quite regretful, though.  Your path forward is paved with mistakes...and provided you learn from each, you will be happy and successful, moving forward.
