What’s your biggest regret in life?
 
Is it a mistake you continue to dwell on? A path you realize you should’ve taken? A person you wish you hadn’t given so much time to?
 
And if you had the opportunity, would you go back in time and do something differently? Or would you take this Cormac McCarthy quote to heart: “You never know what worse luck your bad luck has saved you from”?
 
Regret is more than a sad, wistful daydream. It can cause us a tremendous amount of pain today and actually prevent us from enjoying our lives.
 
If you’re holding on to any kind of regret, you can’t miss this week’s new video.

"I forgive all the past versions of myself that tried to keep me safe." This affirmation helps me so much with my regrets, flashbacks and intrusive thoughts.

I literally have been in a relationship for 50 years (married for 46 years) and am now starting my life over at the age of 65! I have learned so much in the last few years about myself and I feel like a new person. I was tempted to wallow in self pity about how my entire life has been wasted in a bad relationship, but you are right. I may have 10-15 good years ahead of me and I am going to live them to my fullest! I can't beat myself up about what I did not know. I don't have any more time to waste on negativity and drama and am looking forward to a wonderful future!

You made the best decision you could at the time. Try not to be too hard on yourself.

I found out today after 2 months of us breaking up, my ex is dating someone new after spending 11 months with me. It hurts a lot. I can’t sleep tonight, but Matthew has helped me slow down my heartbeat a bit. And I’m trying to pick up the hope Matthew put down. There’s endless possibility now that this relationship is truly, truly, over.

Has anybody read "The Midnight Library" by Matt Haig? This novel basically plays with the idea of how it would be if you could live all those lives you chose not to because you made certain decisions. The protagonist's "book of regrets" is huge at first but gets smaller with each life she chooses to try out and finds to be not so desirable after all.

I'm beating myself up from one fight I had that caused my breakup. I hope I can eventually forgive myself and move on. 🙏

“I don’t hate me today, for something that a past me did” honestly that hit me hard. Despite considering myself coming a long way from the person I was 2 years ago, regrets are something that I still struggle with from time to time. That simple line alone has really help me shift my perspective. I understand now I can’t let the old version of myself punish my present self.

„when we regret something, all we are really doing is holding on to a story, a memory of something we wished we’ve done differently, but who was done by a person who we no longer are“

[TheRealMe]

“Get the feeling.
When you get the feeling, you start to get that confidence.
When you get confidence, you get momentum.
Momentum is consistency.
Consistency is results.” 💯

I modified all of my life plans for him. My life turned upside down when he entered my life. Finally, the ‘spark’ is gone. I’d rather move-on w/ my life. Saying that he put me through the ringer is an understatement. I’d only stay w/ him if he finally put a ring on my finger (marriage). Even then, the relationship would just feel transactional. Nobody dreams of a strictly transactional relationship. I’m just too exhausted from trying my best to mediate w/ him as bending over backwards just to face consequences as a result. I genuinely feel and think that he’d like to hinder my opportunities. And we’re simply never on the same page. Not worth the effort anymore. Time to continue-on w/ life.

I woke up this morning with such a heavy heart., full of regrets over my life of wasted time…again! I am 58 years old, and I recently ended a 4 year relationship that I thought was perfect…only to find out that it was all a lie…I have been lied to, manipulated, deceived, and cheated on, more than once, all the while them telling me how much they loved me, I was their soulmate, they couldn’t live without me. I feel like I am dying on the inside. I made this person my priority, gave him all I have to give in my heart and he has squeezed the life out of it. I keep wondering what is wrong with me? What did I do?
It has been 3 months now since the breakup, and he has tried many times to get me to come back to him…I tried, but my trust was broken and I could not….but still my mind is not at peace…I keep blaming myself…😞
I listen to your videos about how to get the guy, and all I can think now is that I never want to do it again…sometimes all I want to do is take my heart out and throw it away. It has been beat and battered all my life💔 The words love and commitment mean nothing to anyone anymore.
But then….I came across this video of how to move on from your regrets and it has given me a different perspective.
Matthew, I just wanted you to know that you have no idea how much you have helped me over these last few years in some of my darkest hours.
It amazes me how someone so youthful can be filled with such knowledge! God gave you a gift to help others and I am thankful for you sharing your gift with me.
So, TODAY is going to be a new day for me, thanks to you! I am wiping my slate clean…forgiving myself and I will take care of the one that I have to live with for the rest of my life….ME!😊
I live in Alabama…it is an unusually warm, beautiful day today, so I will start by picking up a good book and heading to the beach!
Thank you for all you do! As long as I live and breathe, your good works will never go unnoticed!! ❤

If you have a lot of regretful type feelings, identify where people scapegoated you, because some things you can take on as a burden, but not everything was your doing, you aren't isolated, you were taught and reacted to by people whose struggles context and values may be totally different from your own. Don't take on regret that isn't yours to take on

[alihall]

Quitting is the birth place of regret. Keep moving forward!

[buda]

A regret is a lesson well learned, and sometimes it makes a good story 😊

[keishakiger]

“Ive inherited” “ I have ten years starting from scratch “ …. Such a good analogy 💜thank you !

15:08 "You could live to regret spending more years beating yourself up instead of more years living or making an impact."

I really needed to hear this.

I spend so much of my time being my own worst critic over mistakes I made, even though I know it's not good for me. It's almost as if there's comfort in putting myself down because it's familiar. Making positive change is frightening because it's taking a leap of faith into the unknown. My inner voice will say "it's probably gonna be worse than how things are right now. This is fine." When really I should question that voice and ask "how do I know things won't be better?"

Choose your regrets wisely.

[mikahlactpo]

I wish I remembered where I heard this but recently I heard someone say that their life changed when they told themselves “I’m exactly where I’m supposed to be right now!” It’s kind of a freeing thought to think this because you can just embrace the now instead of focusing on all the things you thought you should have!

[pragyapoudel]

Loving a new person will help you move on.

[angiek]

Thank you for this. I’ve been beating myself up for things I’ve done in the past and for not doing things I could have done. But if I didn’t do those things I regret doing, I wouldn’t be the person I am today.
