Everyone has regrets no matter how ‘perfectly’ they lived their life at the time

Things they wish they had done differently...

Hindsight is 20/20 as they say.

A man can be kept in chains for the rest of his life by regretting things he has done...

Punishing himself over and over for not fulfilling what he ‘could’ or ‘should’ have done.

This functions SOMEWHAT in a useful way - the pain of regret occurs because ideally we know we ‘could’ have done better in that moment. And it’s good to realize that, and do better next time.

HOWEVER, There is no perfect life route that would have resulted in a perfect experience with no regrets.

In this sense regrets are never ‘real’ - or rather, they should never be a focus of your mind.

To ‘regret’ then is to just let past experiences wear you down.

It is not possible to have a ‘perfect’ run, based on the circumstances of whats happened.

But it IS perfect, IF you take the perspective that WHATEVER HAPPENED - was perfect.

Does that make sense to you?

You can choose to perceive life’s events as perfect no matter how they unfold. Because, that’s the only way it’s ever going to be.

Any discomfort you feel is based on your judgment or comparison of the flow of life.

You may not know today why you’ve been directed a certain way. But there is a reason.

The only real mistake is to WASTE your current time, by regretting the past.

It’s KEY to understand that you did your best, at the level of consciousness and awareness you had at the time.

That ‘best’ might have been pretty average, but you wouldn’t have done it if it wasn’t what you were meant to go through at the time.

At the distilled basic level, whatever you think of the past is still a waste of the present moment. When you think of the past you are taking yourself out of REAL LIFE, which is NOW, and THAT’S IT.

This present presence is so precious; because it’s the only real thing.

It is what allows you to be, to create, to transmute energy, to receive inspiration, to love. Anything that takes us out of that: judging, regretting, worrying about the future etc, is thus surrendering our true power.

Don’t regret, instead forgive (yourself + others) and forget.
