It's January now..well almost at the end of January. Another year came and gone and another year starts. 2010 leaves with lots of memories (both good and bad) and provides a field to demonstrate the opportunity of being mature and wise. I will never ask for it to be different.
A friend, at the end of 2010 did ask me; "What's your biggest regret in this year?" and for the life of me I can't answer. For I have learned a long time ago regret will never do you any good. Regret is like a hole in your heart (soul, mind..you get that idea so just take your pick..) that no matter you do you can't fill it and make it whole again. There's no reason to cry and moan on your regrets; the opportunities that had passed by, the chances that you didn't take, things that you should and shouldn't do..if you keep on thinking about them your heart will ache more.
No. I don't regret. Yes I made mistakes, error of judgement or didn't do things differently to have a different and better outcome. But all these I considered as lessons to learn. Opportunity to be a better, wiser and more mature individual. To reeducate myself to be braver, stand firm with my decisions and to be responsible of my actions.
Regret, if you just let her be there just like a spot of dirt or smudge on your glasses will get in a way of your perspective and personality but it you use her as an aid of growing up then you will be just fine. I was too young to be exposed with philosophical approach on life, but looking back I am very glad someone taught me about not dwelling in your regret but use your experience as your sword and shield to keep on moving forward.
I hope that 2011 will be better for everyone.
