How to Live Your Life Without Regret - Brian Tracy

Women.

Have you ever done something that you deeply regret? Do you wish you could go back and change what happened?

How do you move on and learn to live life with no regrets?

I have lived, traveled and worked in almost 120 countries throughout the world and have found myself in every type of situation.

We have all done things in life that we would not necessarily go back and do again, but does that mean we must live with regret?

I left home to see the world at 18 or 19 years old and didn’t come back for 10 years. So I’ve done a lot of things in my life that I wouldn’t go back and do again.

Here are a couple of my thoughts on how to live with no regrets:

1) Let Yourself Off the Hook

One of the greatest problems in life is that we don’t forgive ourselves for the mistakes that we’ve made. We carry them around and we beat ourselves up about them.

Understand this, the person who did those things in your past is not the same person you are today. In fact, you are a completely different person with different experiences, different knowledge, different wisdom, and different insights.

The person who did those things that you regret is not you. It was a younger version of yourself. Almost like another person all together.

So let yourself off the hook.

2) Everyone Makes Mistakes

Making mistakes is a normal part of life. It’s as natural as breathing in and breathing out. They are what help us grow and learn. They are what help us become different versions of ourselves.

The next time you are feeling burdened by regret, try saying to yourself:

“I freely forgive myself for any mistake that I have ever made.”

And repeat it.

If you do that, and actually forgive yourself, you can move forward and get on with your life.

3) Look For the Lesson

Finally, try to ask yourself:

What did I learn from this experience? What is this experience trying to teach me? Should I be doing more of something or less of something so I don’t make this same mistake again?

If you look into your most difficult experiences for a lesson, you will always find one.

As long as you learn from each experience, and take that learning with you to other experiences, that’s progress. That’s living without regret.

Before we wrap up, I’d like to leave you with a thought to share with your friends and followers:

“Your life today is the result of all of your choices and decisions in the past. When you make new choices, you create a new future.” @BrianTracy tweet-graphic-trans

Now I’d love to hear from you. So my question today is:

What have you done in your life to move past things you regret?

Allana Pratt, Intimacy Expert - My boyfriend’s messaging strange women

Question: Do you have any idea why a man would start instant messaging strange woman after being in a five year relationship. Said he was “stupid” and wasn’t physical with anybody. I guess you can say I have trust issues. Answers: Ouch! I am so sorry. Do I have any idea why? Here is what I have learned, first off I am really sorry because that really hurts. If you have trust issues especially, that would hurt and sting even more. So first something about trust and then something about men. Trust: When we trust, it’s not that we trust someone to be perfect. That sets us up for failure because no one is perfect and you can’t control anybody. That is insanity if we try to control another and put all of our power – making sure they be a certain way to so that we are safe. Instead, find that safety and trust inside you. That safety being that capacity to discern and know that come what may, you’ve got your own back – you can take care of yourself. It takes a lot of pressure off of other...

How to Set Priorities Using the ABCDE Method - Brian Tracy

The more thought you invest into setting priorities before you begin a task, the faster you will get the important things done. The more important and valuable the task is to you, the more motivated you are to overcome procrastination and launch yourself into the job. William Matthews said,  “The first law of success is concentration – to bend all the energies to one point, and to go directly to that point, looking neither to the right or to the left.” Today, I want to share a method of time-management for setting priorities that I’ve been using for years, called the ABCDE method.

Morgana - Your Wealth is in Your Weirdness

When I first became a life coach I was really concerned about being taken seriously, sounding professional, and not looking like a freak. Not much has changed: I still care about all that stuff. But I discovered over time that the more professional and non-freaky I try to sound, the more INVISIBLE I become. The minute I start to talk like a professional coach and go into one of those elevator speeches I spent so much money to learn (you know exactly what I’m talking about, don’t you?)… I can see the other person’s EYES GLAZE OVER before they start scanning the room for someone more interesting. I can’t begin to tell you how annoying that is. Then one day, years ago, I stood up at a large networking meeting of high powered female entrepreneurs, pulled out a magic wand and called myself a “witchy” coach, and said something about how “goddesses can be old or young, thin or fat, can do what they want, charge what they want (and Aphrodite sleeps with whomever she wants, and no one dares...
