Regret is a strange thing........it means to "feel sad, repentant, or disappointed over (something that has happened or been done, especially a loss or missed opportunity). or
a feeling of sadness, repentance, or disappointment over something that has happened or been done." .........And the notion of regret comes to find me sometimes.......and the wondering if I believe that we should even bother with it in a real sense?? Like I mean if somebody commits a heinous act toward another human and then finds regret and remorse......perhaps that is different, but then again maybe not......because perhaps that act was a catalyst in that person's life to be who they came here to be......and their victim too?? It is hard to say.......I try not to live in regret of anything.....it is a futile place to be in my mind for lots of reasons......because as I have said many times......I believe fully and completely that our journeys unfold as they are supposed to.......no matter what.....and no matter what happens.....so as it refers to the above, "a missed opportunity??" Is that even a thing?.....can we miss what is for us? I am not so sure about that.....I am learning on my journey that God and the Universe have mysterious ways to make it so we are unable to miss what we are supposed to explore in our lives, no matter what we try....... .and when I look back at my life there are only a couple of places where I feel that pang of regret.....wondering if I had done this....or not that.....or more of that what might of happened......but I think that is fool's gold.....because no matter how something ends.....or what happens within it, it is divinely orchestrated amid the rest......the harsh dischord in our symphony, as profound and necessary as the beautiful music we make......the cacophony just as crucial.....I have found during this part of my journey that you cannot miss or avoid the things meant for you....despite your best efforts.....despite what your rational mind thinks, like you can run but you cannot hide lol:) Divine timing has a way of overriding free will sometimes in a way that feels powerful......so as I have been thinking on regret and "mistakes" and really wondering if there is such a thing......it makes me wonder if those things that feel like that are just catalysts to lead us to where we belong.....like the side mechanisms on a pinball machine......having us bounce of those mistakes and regrets and propel us to the top so the lights on the machine go off, and show that we have arrived, arrived in another place of alignment......so maybe regrets and mistakes are detours.....places where we use our free will to delay our journey, or alter is somehow......or maybe they are part of the fabric of it all too.....divinely perfect.......and I suppose for us to label something a regret or mistake.....it must have to do with a thing we are not proud of......or something that hurt us in some way......or something that hurt another person.......or something that did not turn out the way we had wished......but that all goes into the pile of labeling things good or bad.....and I have come not to believe that either.....every experience we have can be alchemized for a positive thing.....I believe that too....and the energy that comes to find us can be used to move us forward, and into the places we want to be.....so this notion of mistakes, regrets, failure.....I am still pondering it all......wondering if there is such a thing in the grand scheme of this big beautiful life......or if it is a part of it all just like the rest....still sorting it out I suppose, will revisit it again when it comes a calling:) Just get out there and live whatever y'all do:) Happy Sunday:)
