It feels really good. But as we live and grow and transform, it can sometimes bring up negative feelings about our past.
\xa0
Whether we made mistakes, missed opportunities, were hurt by someone or experienced a life-altering loss, every one of us has something about our past we wish we could change.
\xa0
Regret can cut deep \u2013 into our very souls \u2013 and bring a lot of pain, shame and blame with it.\xa0
\xa0
But whenever we live in regret, it causes us to miss another opportunity: the chance to make the most of the moment we have right now.\xa0
