40 Ways to Live Life Without Regrets
There's more, but this is a good start



“The saddest summary of life contains three descriptions: could have, might have, and should have.” ~ by unknown space

We all have something stored in our memory banks of the past that we wish we could have done differently, or something we wish we didn’t do.

As we get older we learn and grow. (Sadly , some don't grow & they have closed their minds. They believe that their way is the only way; even if it's the wrong & hurtful ways. They strike out at everyone that does not agree with them) You can't teach Stupid people 4-Sure. But that doesn’t mean we or your have to regret what you or we did before we learned how to do things differently, better on our `journey's of life...Is your Mind Opened or Closed ?

If we didn’t go through those experiences we might not have grown into the strong and knowledgeable people we are today.

So what I’m proposing is that we get rid of the negative thoughts—the could have’s, might have’s, and should have’s—and start living a life that won’t make us feel regretful. Not even at an older, wiser age.

Here is a list of 40 things you can do to practice living life with no regrets: below from the little Buddha site. I share with you in hopes it makes your life better & with no Regrets

1. Realize that it’s okay to make mistakes. Just make sure to learn from your past mistakes, forgive yourself and move on.
2. Make your health and wellness a top priority and always take care of yourself so you’re ready to take care of others.
3. Follow your own path—not one that others want you to follow.
4. Find the humor in life and laugh like there is no tomorrow.
5. Relax and move with the flow of life by being unafraid of change.
6. Be adventurous by trying new things and taking more risks.
7. Have more intellectual curiosity and embrace creativity.
8. Try to find happiness with as many different people as you can.
9. Think for yourself instead of letting other people’s opinions influence you too much.
10. Try not to judge peoplebefore you get to know them.
11. Be thankful for what you have now instead of thinking about what you don’t have.
12. Wish well upon everyone equally and try to admire without envy.
13. Share your happiness with others instead of hoarding it all for yourself.
14. Don’t try to change someone—love who they are now.
15. Enjoy the journey, not just the destination.
16. Know that happiness is bigger than any bank account.
17. Control negative thoughts so that they don’t contribute to the outcome of your life.
18. Use your energy wisely because spending energy complaining, worrying or being impatient is just wasted energy.
19. Be bold. Find the courage to change things that should be changed and accept that there are some things that cannot be changed.
20.Love your work. If you don’t currently love what you do, figure out what you would love, and take the first step toward that life.
21. Turn your discontent into a mystery and enjoy trying to solve it.
22. Face problems from different angles in order to find solutions.
23. Gain independence by realizing that on this earth we are all dependent upon each other.
24. Change your perspective by taking on a wider view of things.
25. Don’t waste time trying to bring disagreeable people around to liking you.
26. Become the person you would like to spend the rest of your life with.
27. Be honest with yourself and others by saying what you mean and meaning what you say.
28. Treat people with respect and compassion.
29. Live in the now by loving the present and being aware of your thoughts and actions. Think happy thoughts and speak powerful words.
30. Try not to put things off until later.
31. Never hold grudges.
32. Face your fears head on and try to do the things that you think you cannot do.
33. Spend time with people who make you happy while also not depending on other people for your own happiness.
34. Stand up for yourself and others and don’t let anyone or anything hold you back.
35. Be yourself and love who you are now.
36. Be a participant in life rather than an observer.
37. Do the things that you love to do as much as you can.
38. Write out a list of goals and achieve them by doing them step by step. Don’t give up when things get difficult.
39. Do something every day that makes you feel proud of yourself—commit random acts of kindness whenever you get the chance.
40. And always keep on moving forward.

*Member's could you only try to imagine ?, `if all people would live by the above words...That's the kind of World that I'd love to live > wouldn't you ? I try to live by the above & I hope others that read it also try (?)

> Maybe we can make it contagious & make it a better World & Planet to live, love and enjoy our human life ? > Your turn > Post your thoughts ?

 

 

`Amen

 

 

Philanthropists of that time were not aware of why some people may appear to be optimistic or pessimistic. It all has to do with balance - chemical balance. A person with high levels of serotonin may appear to be anxious, happy and optimistic. A person with low levels of serotonin will appear to be depressed, sad and pessimistic. Someone that is bipolar lives in the past, the present and the future. The key is to understand why a person is the way they are rather then labeling them and separating them from the mainstream.

There is nothing wrong with being ignorant. Ignorance can be cured with guidance and education. Unfortunately, mankind has yet to find a cure for stupidity.

 

Thank You `Mike,
I am so thankful that there is nothing wrong with me being ignorant & I shall keep seeking, searching for the answers & the truth for a better understanding. I was waiting to see `if anyone would comment on that statement(s) I posted.

You have a very insightful view of life based on facts & your knowledge of life. I always enjoy reading your words & thoughts 4-Sure
I pray that they find a cure for my `Stupidity > 4-Real...

I shall continue my search (but, I keep getting lost in my `mind & in my `life) (My Mind's GPS is `out)>

Thanks `Dave for your post & linked picture.
Great Quote picture with a `true meaning...

 

Yeah, I was around some AA people for awhile. The main thing was the "mental ailment" aspect. To cure ones mind meant to let go of all the things you perceived to be wrongs done to you.... confront if possible and forgive. If you go on resenting the things you perceive as being wrongs done unto you, or worse resent the thing you consider wrongs you've inflicted upon others (make that apology) or yourself, you may never be truly at peace. One love.

Believe in yourself.....
