Regrets

Regrets are unrealistic expectations from your ego which are meaningless and generated from self-pity.  Regrets are useless energy that will impede your development as a soul. You were supposed to be doing just as you did and nothing less. Regrets require you to focus on the past and the past does not exist. It takes away the energy to create in the present moment. Regrets are based many times on living our lives based on the decisions of others. Regrets are an appalling waste of energy. You cannot build on regrets, you cannot grow from regrets, and all you can do in bury yourself deep in frustration and second guessing.
There are two types of regrets that I experience from individuals most frequently in readings. First there are the regrets for not doing something a certain way. As if you should have had the insight to know that you should have done things differently. Usually someone took some type of action and now they second guess that action and think they should have done more. If we spend all our day second guessing every decision we make then we would miss the opportunities to create in the present moment.  The second types of regrets are for not doing anything at all. You cannot take responsibility for someone else’s choices; you are only responsible your own choices. It is not reasonable to think you can control someone’s freewill.
Again, when someone second guesses their past actions then they are living in the past. Why waste energy on something you cannot change from the past?  I encourage you to focus on your current actions and always do the best they can do at any given moment.  Live in the precious present!

“Regrets, I’ve had a few
But then again, too few to mention.

And saw it through without exception.”
