You convince yourself that the paths not taken and the dreams not pursued are the reason you’re not 100 percent happy in life. But no one is always happy. As ad-man Don Draper remarked on television’sThe problem with regretting “if onlys,” is that you don’t know how those paths not taken and those dreams not pursued would have turned out. They could have led to disappointment or disaster.
Only you know what these minor disappointments are in your life. I suggest you sit down and think about them for a while, jotting down those that come to mind and making a plan to change things. Changing a lot of little things can add up to big changes! Once you can identify what you did that's making you feel regret, resolve not to do it again. And if you find yourself doing it again, investigate what happened, and renew your resolve.
