GENTEE ME AJUDA!!
LEARNING FROM YOUR REGRETS
“If only I had known them what I know now.” How often I hear that phrase replayed by those who dwell on missed opportunities and regrets.
Jane regrets dropping out of college to get married. “I wish I had a better education and had made something of myself. Now that my kids are older, I’m bored. I would’ve liked to have an important career, but it’s too late now,” she laments.
Rick regrets taking the easy way out. “I entered my dad’s business right after college. Financially, I’ve got no complains. But I have a hard time shaking off the feeling that I would have become someone special if only I had the courage to go out on my own back then”.
Regrets like these can become a constant reminder of “what could have been”. But it doesn’t have to be that way. Regrets can also enlighten and be an incentive for new opportunity. Here’s how that might happens:
Conquer your negative emotions. People often imagine that they would have done things differently if they had known better. Yet, the decisive factor in their decision-making is often an emotional one, not a lack of information. Jane could still get her college degree if she weren’t afraid that the commitment would be too much for her. As she reflects on her past, she recognizes that feeling overwhelmed was the same reason she dropped out of school years ago. If Jane is to learn from her regrets, she needs to deal with her fears in a different manner this time.
Use your regrets to motivate yourself to take a different action. Rick can motivate himself to do something different now, instead of simply regretting his long ago decision. Perhaps, he could move the business in a new direction, start a second career, or blaze a creative trail in a completely different field. Ruing your regrets is a passive approach to life; using your regrets to make a better life for yourself is a positive and active approach.
Anticipate future regrets before you make major decisions. If Jane does decide to return to college, it would be helpful for her to anticipate what might make her regret this decision too. If her goal is to have a thriving career, she should choose an appropriate program. Simply taking the easiest course (which would be her typical pattern) would likely result in her regretting her decision once again.
Use regrets to learn more about what’s important to you. Rick imagines that he might have become a musician if he hadn’t gone into his dad’s business. But he conveniently ignores how music might play a role in his life now. Too often people assume that it’s too late in life to make any changes. No true, unless you get entrenched in the position that: it should have been a certain way then so there’s nothing you can do about it now.
Many people regret decisions they’re made or opportunities they’ve lost. But only a few make these “woulda, coulda, shouldas” work for them. You can be one of these people. It’s never too late to use regrets as a catalyst for revamping your life.
“Make your ‘woulda, coulda, shouldas’ work for you”

think about the future and know that if you go on the easy side and don't do what you want it can make you regret it in the future and be sorry for what you could be or what you could have done at that time.then think before you do something and reflect if this act will make you regret it.

Segundo o autor, o que é realmente importante quando as pessoas tomam decisões ????

pense no futuro e saiba que se você for do lado mais fácil e não fizer o que quiser, poderá se arrepender no futuro e lamentar o que poderia ser ou o que poderia ter feito naquele momento. pense antes de fazer algo e reflita se esse ato fará com que você se arrependa.
