regret

It was no good to look back, to apologize for what had happened, or to wonder what could have been different.

If only. Those must be the two saddest words in the world.

It is better to stay single and wait for the one that makes sense then to marry someone that makes absolutely no sense. The moment you settle is when the one person that makes all the sense in the world shows up and Satan sits back and enjoys your spiritual meltdown.

I live completely without regret. Sure there are plenty of things that someone could second guess, but I see the path of life like driving down the road without a map. The thing is, some dark alleys open up in majestic places, and some bright and shiny highways to the top end in cliffs to the bottom. You never know until you get there. What I know for sure is that if many years ago I actually had a map to the path of life, the destination that I would have chosen is right here, with this family, in this place, and with these smiles. That makes anything that could have been regretful, the best decision in the world.

To live with regret is to deny one's life of living.

While you might think the choices that leave no regrets behind are the minimal ones and the casual ones and the safe ones, I believe the opposite is true. Regret happens when we are still left with __hat if._ Regret is the result of leaving a story within you still untold, a song inside of you never sung, a touch unique to your personhood that never was felt by another. When you lay everything on the line because you believe that much that the life you have been given is the utmost calling to be answered, you don__ regret it.

In terms of days and moments lived, you__l never again be as young as you are right now, so spend this day, the youth of your future, in a way that deflects regret. Invest in yourself. Have some fun. Do something important. Love somebody extra. In one sense, you__e just a kid, but a kid with enough years on her to know that every day is priceless. (418)

Every step towards your dream today is a step away from your regret tomorrow.

Don__ let the agony, regret, or fog of yesterday blind you to the fact that each new day carries with it a plethora of opportunities to move your life into the right direction.

Don__ choose to walk the well-worn path to regret. Be amongst the few who dare to follow their dreams!

Before you make a decision, ask yourself this question: will it result in regret or joy in the future?

In order to grow sometimes we must cease striving to meet other people__ expectations and begin establishing new goals that develop our personal potential. If we live a life to satisfy all the direct or implicit anticipations of other people, we end up living a life full of regret because we failed to develop into a complete manifestation of our being.

Our regrets want to bring back many things we leave behind

Beneath your burdensome regrets and who you think you are through the lens of past mistakes, there is someone beautiful who wants to emerge.

we all get waves of regret sometimesbut instead of dwelling on what you can__ change,start focusing on what you can.

...alone in this city, alone on this sea. The days were strewn about him, he was a drunkard of days. He had achieved nothing. He had his life--it was not worth much--not like a life that, though ended, had truly been something. If I had had courage,he thought, if I had had faith. We preserve ourselves as if that were important, and always at the expense of others. We hoard ourselves. We succeed if they fail, we are wise if they are foolish, and we go onward, clutching, until there is no one--we are left with no companion save God. In whom we do not believe. Who we know does not exist.

Beauty is wishing for loneliness without any regret and complains.

She would never forget how his soul was lonely as the moon they__ met under, and how, for several brief moments, she__ been able to chase the loneliness away.
