Meditations on God

Regret hurts for a reason.

It is life’s way of telling us to do better.

Regret is the pain of our past errors rising up within us to urge us to not make the same mistakes again.

It is there to give us a second chance.

If we heed regret’s warning, it is like starting life anew.

We get to experience what life would have or could have been like if we had made better choices.

These opportunities do not come often, and when they do, they typically do not last long.

We must seize upon them when they arise as if our lives depend on it because, in a way, they do.

The regret we feel now, if it causes us to change course for the better, is regret we do not have to feel later.
