That's a tough one, Pilatus. I made a conscious decision many years ago that I would not regret anything. I'm adamant with myself about that. Since I always followed my heart and did what I thought was right at the time, there's nothing to reproach myself for. We can't know HOW things are going to turn out when we do them. So, we just do the best we can. We can't change the past. We can only work on today and try to do better in the future.
Our lives are filled with so many firsts... and since we have never done them before, how can we expect to know how to do all of them? Of course we make mistakes... because we're making it up as we go along. We need to give ourselves permission to be human and learn from our mistakes rather than blaming ourselves for them.
