seen this on the profile page of an ex coworker of mine on facebook. I’m sorry I’m the one who says this, but: living with no regrets is like admitting that you are a sociopath. because that is one of the key factors that ‘normal’ people distinguish from sociopaths: having regrets. regrets are actually not there for holding you back in life nor are they the reason why you are not there where you are now. they are there to remind us what kind of shit we did in the past and not do that again. that is pretty much it. no, fancy wieden and kennedy nike commercials and inspirational helvetica posters are not right: Regrets probably don’t make you weak. And if they do? What gives. Thinking about the past is one of the easiest ways to bring yourself down, because it is always the bad stuff we remember the most, it’s neurochemical, there is nothing you can do to that. Ask yourself: “What keeps me from doing exacly what I want to?” The most likely answer is: “Myself.” What you have done in the past will only hurt you if you do it again. Make sure to tell yourself what you will never do again, and then tell yourself what you WILL do. Form your resolve, but base it upon your own courage and independence. Be honest with both yourself and those you love.
