Regrets

I have been thinking a lot about the word regret. Most people say they have some; I always know I did. But the more I think about it, the less I like to call them regrets. I like to call them "what-if thoughts." Because I am so happy where I am now, I guess my 'regrets' are more like me thinking, what if I would have done this instead of what I did. I think that there really is no such thing as regrets. You learn from each and every decision you make, whether good or bad in hindsight. To call something a regret I think is dumb. Can you really have a regret? Do you regret what you learned from that decision then? Do you want to take back that knowledge and maybe do that dumb thing again? More then likely you'll say no. This is why I no longer believe in regrets but I do believe in "what-if thoughts."
