"Live your life without regret."

(An original by Natasha Munson)

The last thing you want to do in life is look back and regret the
choices you did or did not make. There is no way to go back, no way to correct life. Once a choice is made, it usually has lasting effects. So you have to look at your life and where you want to be clearly. Make decisions that will get you the most out of life.

It is very painful to look back on life and say, I wish I had done this or that. It's something I vowed I would never do to myself. I advise you to make the same vow and stick to it. This vow is not simple. You have to realize that when you say I vow never to regret, you are confirming that you will do things in your life. You will live life to the fullest. You will make decisions that enrich your life. You will do things that are new to you. You will try to create a life you love. This is a commitment to yourself. It is a commitment you must make.

When you make a commitment to yourself you establish a certain level of achievement for yourself. There are things you will have to accomplish in order for your life to be fulfilled. Since you do not want to regret not seeking opportunities and challenges you will be more open to thinking in your best interest and making wise choices.

When you get off track in life, remember that there is a bigger purpose for your life that God knows. So although you may wonder why you did this or that. In the scheme of things it was meant to happen. Everything happens for a reason.

While your life and the fulfillment of it are the main focus, you also
do not want to regret the way you did or did not treat others. It is important to treat others as you would want to be treated. When you accomplish things in life, give back to others in some way. Live a life that in the end you can say I loved, I lived, I laughed, I helped, I learned.

Lesson: Live your life in a way that you never have to look back and say I wish I could do this over.
