The past is in the past. Letting go is the only way to cope with regrets. Let go and move on.

I think that we all have some form of regrets in life--it's normal, we are only human, we can't be perfect. I know that once you have a regret, you constantly look back on it and wish things could be different. It will pass, don't beat yourself up over it. It doesn't mean you will make that regret again, think differently.

I think it is just useful to know that you made the decisions you think were best at the time with the knowledge you had. We are always learning from our mistakes and it helps us to make better decisions in the future.

There is no actual answer to going about life with no regrets. You will always have regrets but that's life. The most honest answer I can give is basically to just go on instinct but still have boundries.

We can say we do made mistakes from the past, but it ccant be help. PAst is past and that's why we are like this at the present. it is part of who we are now. All we can do is to learn from it and live life positively facing the future with knowing that we may do again mistakes but its a msitake not like on the past :P

Realise that although you may have done something wrong there is nothing you can change about that. It's a tough lesson to learn- we must only live in the present.

Regrets are like horrible chains tied to your feet. They stop you from moving forward. In order to move on, the first thing is to loosen those shackles and focus on the present. The past is gone, what's done is done. Now is the time to do something new, in a way that'll help you get over that regret.

You can't go about living with regrets, dwelling on past mistakes will only upset you and put a downer on your present and future. Instead learn from your mistakes and remember- nobody is perfect. Regretting something is what we all do, what you choose to do with that regret is up to you.

Don't think of them as regrets, they're more like lessons learned. Taking what worked and applying moving forward creates better results so they're won't be any "regrets"
