Forget or Regret
I will stop playing the if only game:
If only I could do it over again.
If only I had listened sooner.
If only I could erase that conversation.
If only I could forgive myself.
We all have regrets; we’ve all made bad choices, and said foolish things and we’ve all wasted time.

Here is how you release your regrets incorrectly?
#1 You try to bury your past .
#2 You try to minimize (“It wasn’t a big deal”), rationalize (“Everyone does it”), and compromise (lowering standards)..
In other words you give up…
#3 You blame others.
#4 You beat up on yourself.
#5 You try to pay for your guilt unconsciously through illness, depression, setting yourself up for failure (I have opened a can of worms now).
The problem with beating up on yourself is this: your conscience never knows when to stop!

Release yourself from the Regret Net by:
Not making excuses.
Don’t be a historian.
Forget, don’t regret!
Don’t be a historian.
Forget, don’t regret!
