  I do have regrets. I regret leaving home at 19, quitting college, hooking up with and MARRYING my ex husband. But, you do live and learn. If I had not of met ex, then I wouldn't have my 2 beautiful daughters, whom I DON'T regret at all.

  I don't beleive in regrets, I don.t claim the word mistakes, I considered things we do are choices, not regrets, not mistakes or mishaps. Think of it this way, do we believe that our birth was a any of those classifactions that I just previously mention? No! of course not, we find words to use as an escape to avoid our own shame,or embrasement and why? because society says so. we keep forgetting we all are human mortals, not immortal, and the so call regrets are acctually life learning lessons while we are here. My mother ask me at the age of 50, 6 years ago did I had any regrets in my life, and I told her No!, I said why should I, we all make our life as we feel what works for us. I feel it prepares you in a better condition to be the uniqe person that we are, and I feel that we need to embrace it. No one has any right to judge any other humanbeing. We all are Born, Educated, Work, Marry, Kids and Die. Remember we all have free will. and I considered the word RETIREMENT AS BEING , 6FEET UNDER, instead, use it as a Vacation off 365 days a year, or the beinging of your second or third life. Life is what we make it, so don't let others make you feel guilty just because you mad a bad choice, remember, that was your choice to be made no one else, and if it deemed to fail, don't let it consume your future, ask you self who are you trying to impress, others, or your self, who is going to humandly love you most, of course your self, and who will always love you and forgive, of course the Almighty God thru Jesus Christ, and if any one says different, yes!! Jesus do exists. Society and education has conformed us all to see this, and of course why, Money=Power, Control, Greed, stupidity and death. So if we regret we are our own life teacher, you live and you learn, can't cry over spilled milk. My husband told me that I had a I don't care attitude, and I told him it depends, but I said you right I don't, it is not of any regrets it is not important anymore, people don't care, they will act as if they do, but that is there way of acknowledge you that they don't want to be around. and it makes them feel good to talk gossip to their so called close freinds in order to make them look good and take there regrets as though they don't exisist.

  Life is what it is and we all are striving to deal with our Regrets. remember, just always love yourself and don't judge ourselves to hard, it is a natural process, and its ok to have a feel regrets, but always remember, These are Choice we actually act upon on our own, so its good to say every now and then, I slected a bad choice, but something postive came out of it for me. Love to all!!!!!!!!

  I have so many regrets. My daughter is 6 and I regret not having the money to get an apartment so that she can have her own room. I regret putting off an awesome school in order to work a full-time job that I absolutely hate and dread going to everyday. I regret so much about my life now... my weight gain, my love life, the car that I bought (and am still paying for) 3 years ago. I'm at a point where I just want to move on from regret and seriously get it together. I pray for God's strength and wisdom over my life and that has helped me with so much of my regret. My life is changing because I now make choices that make me somewhat happy. Remedy for too much regret? Start doing you for once and the good stuff will follow! :)

  I do feel and truly believe, that a person can say they have no regrets, and mean it. Not everyone has lived their life with no self control. Further more, as we get older we change and our prospective on things change with us, I'm not going to beat myself up over a decision that I made years ago, that more than likely, was the right thing at that time.

  Look at it like this, if you were baking a cake you could only put into it what you thought would make it turn out right, but until the cake is done, you won't know what you could've done differently.

  Not everybody looks at things as a regret or not regret situation. So I do believe some people can honestly say they have no regrets.

  I don't believe that saying ONE BIT. EVERYONE has regrets every now and then. I regret giving up my virginity at a young age to a guy that I loved and thought loved me only to break up with me 2 weeks later. Iregret losing some of my friends the rest I'm kinda glad there gone in a way. i regret all the pain and suffering I put my family through.

  I don't have many large regrets, because I did everything right the first time, I laugh when people say you have to make mistakes to learn, um no, you can do it right the first time and there will be no consequences and drama and I might be anal, but I like to have things right, there is one regret I have, but I really live my life, by no matter what I did, it is the right choice for me, I have never had any big regrets that could not be corrected like having a kid or something, so if I didn't do that one thing, I would be living an unregretful life, the way I believe in living LOL! I am trying to loosen up and I am having more fun now!

  I don't think this is a determination that one person can make for another person. Who are you to tell someone else they're untruthful if they have no regrets? I'm a truthful person and I honestly have noregrets. I do not regret my mistakes. They taught me valuable lessons about what I DON'T want in my life. And out of every one of those situations, I gained some knowledge, some good. I regret nothing. It's all about perspective and being solution focused rather than problem focused.

  You create your reality by how you think and how you perceive.

  PS - Judging others says nothing about THEM. It only shows YOU as a person who needs to judge. And that is very sad.

  no regrets means u can let things go, sometimes if u did something wrong you'll laugh about it a couple years later. unfortunetly not everything is like that if u can let the past stay the past and let it go as best u can that is what i consider no regrets.
