For me, I wished I had joined a band and kept acting. I really wanted to have a career that was creative. I didn't care about money, I just wanted to be creative and love what I did.

So, who else?

Life's too short and the world is too big for woulda, coulda, shoulda. I've had my share of bad decisions and misfortune, some caused by myself and some thrust upon me. But there's no value in dwelling upon it or getting bummed out. What was, was. What is, is. What will be is mostly "up to you."

Like Master Yoda says "Try not. Do or do not. There is no try.”

If you want to do something, then you do it. If you don't do it, then something else has higher priority (and that's not necessarily a bad thing). It just is what it is.

Stay happy, stay focused, keep your priorities in perspective and you'll see your path. Chok dee!

I know music and creative juices are inside me and I have songs that I want to write. But I just can't seem to get it high enough on my priority list. Maybe that's good. Maybe that's bad. For now, it is what it is and I have to accept that, with the hope that maybe there will be time in the future, and keep the fire burning inside until then.

Remember Frank Sinatra's song ?

My Way...

....Regrets, I have a few, but than again, too few to mention.....

LaoPo

Yes indeed,

In the end, most don't regret what they have done, but what they have not.

As of date I have no regrets, wait a minute, the box is mis-marked,

Apparently I have nothing but regrets, I wouldn't know where to begin.

Hi Ya Snakie ..Where Ya Been ??

Like you I must admit, I recall saying on more than one occasion "If Only" !!!!!

Are you the cobra that was in Raro's garden?

Next time you are bummed you should take some drugs since you only seem to want to whine about how inadequate things are. If you take drugs then things will not get better so you get temporary relief and you still get to do the whining....I suggest starting on alcohol with perhaps some nicotine as well....later you can expand the selection.............or.........you could go learn about Buddhism where the opening line is that things are inadequate and they teach you a drugless strategy for dealing with it.

I was just thinking, as I read this thread, how fortunate I am to have no real regrets. Till you put that song in my head.

I ain't no wife of Flash. That was the other one. Saviour, yes, purveyor of trash, ultimately yes.

And, Lannarebaby, just thank your lucky stars I didn't write out the lyrics to "All the leaves are brown, and the sky is grey..."

I went for a walk, on a winters day

It is so true that we usually regret what we havent done, not what we have done. And rarely do think back to why we didnt do those things at the time....

Unless you are a complete moron or a psychopath then usually we make choices for a reason, that was completely validated at the time.

Every once in a while I get bummed out. I had some things going for me when I was young. Alot more things running against me though. Well, needless to say I didn't do what I set out to do and lost the chance to have my dreams.

The real problem is that Jesus is missing in your life.

Ouch.

P.S.

FWIW, I know what you mean about the music. I played piano for years as a kid, then quit because I had a bad teacher and was an angry and rebellious teen. I was no child prodigy but I was pretty darn good. How good could I have been? Who knows? I got back to it for a short while, taking a couple terms at uni, but never kept with it. I know music and creative juices are inside me and I have songs that I want to write. But I just can't seem to get it high enough on my priority list. Maybe that's good. Maybe that's bad.

It's fun sometimes to think about what you might have done if you kept doing something, whatever that might have been. Thinking of such things has helped me I believe, it has made me want to be more creative in some capacity, perhaps I will never master an instrument in my life but perhaps I will write a good story, or paint something worth hanging in my home. Who knows.

Whine, come on Chownah. I was bored and listening to some good music. I though "Man, I wish I had learned to play guiter, joined and band at least just a little while." That's all. I don't whine, but I do like to talk abiout depressing things, for I find people are more tested and thus defined by their suffering. So, I learn from others regrets as well. I learn about them and perhaps myself. So, no worries, eh?

Since everyone suffers to some extent, maybe you should consider defining yourself by your ability to overcome suffering (and regret) instead. I hope you like the definition you come up with.

Are you the cobra that was in Raro's garden?

If I knew that I would have taken out the snake without a second thought...

Well, that's pretty much what I was saying, for if someone doesn't overcome their suffering their dead in the water, or just dead. So, we are talking about the same.

Instead of lamenting your lack of guitar skills, pick up the guitar and write a song about it.

I do know where you're coming from, but it doesn't help to regret stuff unless these regrets ultimately make you take positive action. Sounds like a bloody Wayne Dyer book, but it's true.

On my massive list of things to do it's on there, working my way towards it. Right now it's on the 'do before I die' part of the list.

Whenever centegenarians are asked the secret to their longevity, invariably, one of the answers they give is they don't hold on to their regrets and focus on the more positive aspects of life. I think there's probably something to that.

I actually corrected that within a couple of minutes....Ms Gorgon was very quick with her reply....
