No Regrets Made

We don't want to make this. We don't even want to feel this.

It feels heavy when we look back at it later on. We wish it happened differently, or it didn't happen at all.

I'm talking about regret, something we don't want to commit.

Every day we face a lot of tests, and we always face many options. And as they say, "Life is always 10% situation and 90% response". Our choices will influence our future. This makes making decisions the most crucial thing to do in life.

But why do people make bad decisions? Well, I learned of two reasons:

   * Emotions come in when we decide.

   * We neglect the important priorities of life.

There's no doubt that our mistakes lead us to consequences we never expect. And it feels bad after. The only thing to do is to learn from them. But if we get a second chance to correct them, we grab that opportunity.

So how do we avoid them?  Think a lot of times before coming to a decision. Even if it has to take a lot of people to ask for wise advice, then we'll do it.

Sometimes, we feel afraid after the decision has been made. It's because of the uncertainty of the outcome. It might be a bad decision. But if we place confidence that we did everything to make the right one, we can overcome it.

We may have a perfect view of what we want to happen. But sometimes, it wouldn't go that way. There will come something better than what we perceive. So it's still important to balance things out. What matters is that we don't regret the choices we make in the end. So let's be wise enough to make these.
