Do You Have Regrets?

December 30, 2008 in Life with 3 Comments

The following is a powerful video. It talks about regret and the things we do in life that cause it. Regret is one of the only emotions that you cannot rectify. If you regret something it’s because you have already done it (or not done it, whatever the case may be). No one regrets something they’ve yet to do.

What do your regret from this past year? What caused regret in you in 2008?

Me? I regret squandering opportunities that were right in front of me. Laziness is the mother of all pacifiers, isn’t it?

I regret believing that I can’t do something when deep down, I know I can.

But here’s to a regret-free 2009. Here’s to a year filled with God-breathed moments of redemption from the past year’s regrets. Take a look … What are your regrets?

    i can't view the video here at work, but i'm sure it's cool. there are a few things I DID this year that I know I should regret. But the truth is that they made me wake up and realize some things about where my heart was. My only regret, as cheesy as it sounds, is that I didn't believe in my heart that God knew what was best for me, and that he would bless me far beyond what I could imagine. Life isn't perfect now by any means, but once I stopped fighting him on everything, I came to see how much he loves me, and how well he knows me. That's a good feeling, and I'm stronger now knowing it. I regret the time I wasted not believing in his wonderfulness.
