Gotta learn to live with regrets.

"On the rise to the top, many drop, don't forget;
In order to survive, gotta learn to live with regrets"


Jay-Z couldn't have said it any better.

Throughout the world we live in, we see the results of someone's success. We fail to acknowledge though, that their success often coexists with that person's mistakes and regrets. When it comes to a person's ability to learn and experience new things, we fear the idea of things like rejection, failure or shortcoming. We're scared that whatever we decide to do with our lives, we'll ultimately regret what we did or didn't do. Regret can sometimes instill a sense of opportunity within us though. If it weren't for regret, how do we learn from our mistakes?

We'll all make mistakes. We'll all have regrets. Some regrets minor; some major. This much is true. My biggest point is this..

Don't go through life petrified of what you may one day regret. 

If mistakes make us better, regrets keep us humble.
