Regret

Regret Today 
By Catherine Pulsifer, © 2007 

How many times do we say something that 
we immediately realized was not the right thing to say? 
How many times do we look back 
on an event and think, if only I had. . . 
How many times do we do something 
that we wish hadn't done? 

You can't change what has been said. 
You can't change a past event. 
You can't change what has been done. 

Do you call it regret, sorrow, repentance? 
Do you think about what might have been? 
Do you relive an event the way it should have been? 

Forget about regret, and focus. 
Focus on today, 
not on the past. 
Focus on what you can do, 
not what you didn't do. 

The only thing to regret is 
living in the past 
The only thing to feel sorrow for is 
not living each day to the fullest. 
The only thing to do to repent is 
to sincerely say, I'm sorry. 

Don't live your life 
regretting yesterday. 
Live your life so 
tomorrow you won't regret today.
