Life without regrets...?

Many. I don't tell you any experience because it's the past. You cannot solve anything.\nThis question sucks!

I don't plan the rest of my plan, cus there's no point.  Sh!t happens and plans change and you have to improvise and alter the plan.  I have an idea of where I want to be next year and that's about it.  I believe if you map out your entire life, without knowing what's gonna happen tomorrow, you're gonna be really dissappointed when it doesn't turn out the way you hoped.  There's really no point in setting yourself up for regret.

Without a doubt the best thing to ever happen to me is giving birth to my 4 sons.\n\nMy biggest regret is that my marriage didn't last until they were grown so they could have had a stable environment and perhaps fewer troubles as adults.

My life has never been perfect (even till now). Ups and downs and sideways, too. But the essence of life is how you live it during the good times and , unfortunately, during the bad times, too. So all of those bad things I charge to experience and hope that I don't trip over the same rock twice. And for the good things, keep on coming.\n\nMost of those who reply to this question so far say that they should have done better in elementary or high school or college. Right answers. There are no wrong answers. But come to think of it, don't you guys feel that your misses and "mistakes" have helped you to grow stronger and better equipped to face more challenges? What do you think?

No. I am a person who just said no, but I do not regret it. I'll admit I've gotten curious at times, but I know I would regret if I actually did try it, I know I'll never regret not trying it.

I think the only regret I have about being a child was not taking the time to enjoy it more. When we are children, we are in such a hurry to grow to adulthood. Now that I'm an adult, I hvae found myself holding onto the things of my past, looking up old toys on ebay, watching movies I enjoyed as a kid, and trying to remember how much fun I had as a child. The innocence of youth is taken away way too quickly...we grow in the blink of an eye, and then we forget what it was like to be a child. I try to remember that your age is only a number and to be young at heart will help as you get older.

These are always tough questions, as the thought of taking anything back in history, potentially wipes out something wonderful. \n\nFor example, I, to this day, regret staying in a relationship that I wasn't happy with ten years ago, for as long as I did and even worse that I let it go as far as marriage for the sake of a pregnancy. The ensuing pain and frustration has been a distraction and thorn to much of the last decade. But had I gotten out when I should have...I wouldn't have my wonderful son. \n\nStill I regret not going further in my schooling (med school, etc) when I had a chance and taking better career choices than where I have ended up so far. Yet without those choices I would not have been so lucky to have found you.\n\nI regret wasting many years abusing drugs and not focusing on my life after adolescence. But even without those years I would not have so many of the life experiences and failures that I have grown with and been able to help other with, and hopefully will continue to help others with, to keep from making the same mistakes that I have. \n\nSo, I suppose that I have regrets, but couldn't afford to take any of them back.

No regrets what-so-ever.  I did 20 years and would do it all over again.\n\nI got to see the world, met my wife (married for 18 years), partied with some GREAT people, learned new cultures, and have brothers and sisters no matter where I go in the world.  It taught me discipline, gave me focus, allowed me to get a degree.

I regret nothing I do.......If it is something that I will regret I don't do it....Plain and simple.....If more people think before actions...This world would be better off....

I, like most, have a few regrets about decisions that I made in the past but when it comes down to it I wouldn't be the same person had I not made some of those choices.\n\nI think one of the best steps, if you'll call it that, is actually staying home to raise my children.  My professional career and my education is important to me, but those things will still be available to me after my kids are in school.  I think too often parents are concerned about their own careers, ect that they miss the important things by not staying home with their children

"Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets, so love the people who treat you right, forget about the ones who don't, and believe that everything happens for a reason. If you get a chance, take it. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said life would be easy, they just promised it would be worth it. \n-Harvey Mackay\n\nHere's another...\n\n“Find something you love to do and you'll never have to work a day in your life”\n\nNice work Harvey!

IF ANYONE LIVES LONG ENOUGH ,THEY WOULD AND SHOULD HAVE BOTH REGRETS AND HAPPYINESS....NONE OF US MAKE 100% GOOD DECISIONS -- NOR ARE WE COMPLETE FAILURES....PERSONALLY, I HAD A VERY SUCCESSFUL CAREER,BUT THEN SH*T HAPPENS....I AM CONTENT TODAY, BUT NOT TOTALLY HAPPY.....I KNOW GOD IS IN CHARGE...AND THOUGH IT'S NOT AS GOOD AS IT ONCE WAS...IT'S NOT AS BAD AS IT ONCE WAS EITHER!!!

After a year of marriage, my wife and I decided not to have children.  Twenty-three years later we have no regrets...we like the children in our family, and we like the children of our friends, but they go home at the end of the day...I suppose there are joys we'll never know, and I suppose there are heartbreaks we'll never know.  But that's not regret; it's just difference from the norm.  All in all, we've found it freeing not to have children.  Parenthood is hard enough when you want to do it; can you imagine how hard it would be for people who didn't want to be parents (but felt obligated to be)?

I've asked that question before and realized that if I answered it, I would have unresolved issues/events I need to deal with. What I am trying to get at is that for myself, if I want to attain contentment, happiness, peace, and free of regrets, then I must accept everything, every event, happening, etc. that has occurred in my life. Come to terms with everything, the past is the past, it is unchangeable, but I reflect upon it to change what I can today, make better for tommorrow, and learn from it. I was 'dealt a less than decent hand', far from normal, and many challenges. I have overcome many osbstacles, weathered many storms of life, and made many mistakes, but I have no regrets and I am at peace with my past. And that is where it stays, in the past, to reflect upon. \n\nSo my answer to your question honestly, is I wouldn't change a thing.

I don't think there is anyone alive who wouldn't change something or many things in their life if they could. However, the reality is that we can't, so we must live our lives with the knowledge we have learned from each regret. All things happen for a reason. Even though we may hate somethings about our lives I am sure there are awesome things that have come out of those terrible ordeals. For instance anyone who has gotten married only to get divorced, but had children, would say that having their children was the best thing that ever happened to them. Even though they had to go through it with that old hag or that jerk! So, we can complain all we want, but instead I would like to challenge you to thank the old hag and the jerk for the greatest gift of all......your kids!
