Never Regret

By
Real Estate Agent with Wayne M Martin

How many times have you heard "never regret?" There have been many books written about the subject. Try as one might, we all seem to have some regret. Someone sent me an email the other day with a bunch of anonymous quotes and I overlooked many until one caught my eye.

So I leave you with this thought for the day: "Never regret anything that has happened in your life, it cannot be changed, undone or forgotten, So take it as a lesson learned and move on!" So easy to say and yet so hard to follow. Enjoy your day!

Good morning, Wayne.... there is nothing wrong with regretting an incident or action that we have taken in the past....we should learn from it and never make the same mistake twice.... there are many I regret....didn't like the outcome...learned the hard way....but learned.

Good morning Wayne.  For the record no regrets is much easier said than done.  I find I regret decisions made in my youth but as I have aged I am quiet happy with my path and have no regrets these days.

Wayne, I can honestly say that I have no regrets.  Life happened, I dealt with it and moved on.  Mickey always said, if you can't change it, don't worry about it.

Hi Wayne,

Never regret. Just move forward if possible and ask for forgiveness.

Have a nice day in Fort Myers my friend.

Best, Clint McKie

Wayne, thanks for this simple reminder about life!  As one of the best has said, John Maxwell, in the title of his book, "Some Win, Some Learn!"

No regrets if you learn from it and move forward. Living in the past will not help you make progress! Enjoy your day!

Hello Wayne,

No regrets - as you say, learn and grow from life's experiences!

Good advice, Wayne. Too many of us dwell on the incidents of the past that impacted our lives.

Have a great day. It is cold in Maryland and many of the retirees have Florida on their mind.

Easier said than done Wayne.  I try not to dwell on it but it will stick with me a few days.

Good morning Wayne. "Regrets, I've had a few, but too few to mention". Always loved that line.

I have got to get up earlier than Joe.  That was my quote Wayne.

Very similar to not crying over spilled milk, isn't it.  We all have regrets, but we need to let them go.
