Regrets

“Accept the pain, cherish the joys, resolve the regrets; then can come the best of benedictions - "If I had my life to live over again, I'd do it all the same” ~ unknown

 Regrets are hard to  live with because they hold us back from moving on but at the same time, they can be hard to overcome because its difficult to live life and go through all the uncertainties that come to pass everyday with the mind set that all things happen for a reason. However, if we find acceptance, choose forgiveness, follow our heart, make amends, give our all, express our feelings, show the ones we love how much we love them, find the time, make the time...REGRET...the thing that's hard to live /  truly experience life with or without won't be an issue it will just be an aspect of a life full of meaning and promise regardless of the losses, setbacks, heartaches, broken promises, failed endeavors and let downs because how we live our lives, handle the mistakes we make, respond to the chances we take, deal with and nurture our relationships, show love, give love; will make a BIG difference when all is said and done. We can harbor regret and let it affect our future or we can learn from it, grow from it, marvel in it, appreciate it and allow it to guide our path instead of hinder it. Its easy to tell ourselves we wont live with regrets but when it comes down to it, we have to make a conscious effort not to.
