Regrets? I’ve Had A Few.
Are you trying to live a life with no regrets? Well good luck with that.
Not only is it non-sensical, it can be harmful.
Trying to live a life without regrets, is to play it way too safe. It’s to miss out on so many possibilities–the potential to love deeply, expand profoundly, and grow in totally unexpected ways.
