I think it’s a double-edged sword. On the one hand, I don’t want to sit around stewing in regrets, as in, “I should have done that. If only I’d done that.” I don’t want to obsess about other choices I could have or should have made. But I also want to learn from things I could have done differently.

So for me personally, there are two different regrets. The one I want to avoid is the one that binds me to the past and paralyzes me in the present. The one I embrace is the kind whereby I accept I made a poor choice, and empower myself to learn from that to make better choices going forward.

Great question!
