Reflections

I have found myself lately in a constant mind rewind on things from the past. I'm having this re-broadcast, so to speak of things past that I regret, especially on how I treated others both good and bad, but more on how I negatively interact with others. This is more of regrets. Do you yourself go through this and how do you reconcile past interactions that you are not proud of with others?

 

I try not to live in the past, instead look to the future. Yeah, bad shit has happened but i don't dwell on it too much.

 

No regrets only lessons learned to better impact my life and the life of others.

There are times where I think what my life would have been like had I gone to law school instead of pursuin music. But knowing myself and my circumstances at the time I would be in an absolute miserable marriage with the girl I was dating at the time. That little piece of knowledge has always helped me to never regret the past because the path I've taken so far is the only one that I know of that would have resulted in all the good things I actually have in my life.

 

Despite the failure and much success that I have had in my short life, I regret that my destiny was out of my control. Instead of making my destiny, the thing was already premade (predestined), things I have no control over affecting my journey…..i.e. nature, environment, & luck ….

 

every so often I reflect after accomplishing something. Biggest regret not knowing how bad Alzheimer is.

 

Yes, I do this as well. The best thing about your post is that you realize that you sometimes interact negatively and once you recognize it, you can do something about it going forward.

As for those you've interacted poorly with in the past, I would say, if it's appropriate, make amends. Apologize and ask for forgiveness. If that's not possible, acknowledge to yourself that you weren't at your best, and then forgive yourself.

For me, I go to God when I realize that I've behaved in a way that I regret. At the end of the day, I have to answer to him.

 

This.

If I didn't do the things I did, I wouldn't be the person I am today. Looking back some things I've done seem rather stupid but I felt happy with the decision at the time. We don't stay the same... past self and present self are different... I'm a different person, so what was right to "her" isn't right to me anymore.

Learn from things, figure out what worked and what didn't so that things in the future will be better. If everything is all rainbows and sunshine, you'll never learn any crucial life lessons.

 

Past & future is really within the "Stream" of thinking. I simple direct my senses at the MOMENT. what I currently See-Hear-Feel-Touch & that usually ends all the reflekting on the past, cause past is just "thoughts' we give too attention too which makes it appear real.
