How to live life without regret?

So these things you have to think in three ways.

Firstly,

Be a person and be mindful.

Whatever actions you do,

Whatever activities you've taken,

You just have to remember always whatever action you've taken,

You think,

Oh,

If I do this,

This time,

Like this way,

Do I will have any regret in the future through this action?

So this is very important.

Always be mindful of,

Do I have regret one day for this?

So always be mindful.

So then almost no possible,

You do anything,

You will have regret in future.

You don't do that.

So this is the preventing your future regret.

So this is one way.

The other thing is when you have the awareness of actions,

That time is you already done.

That means the actions,

Activities you already took in the past,

Now you have regret.

What we do with this is,

First,

You're just aware all actions,

Anything I did wrong,

I have regret now is not necessarily a disadvantage because the regret can go,

Begin to right path or begin to wrong path,

Begin to steps off for advantage or begin to steps to disadvantage is up to you now.

So that means we still can take this regret steps to advantage.

We can begin now.

So what that means,

If you just regret and feeling guilty and feel bad,

Do nothing about to fix,

That is a disadvantage.

However,

If you take this regret feeling as just starting point,

Okay,

Yes,

I have regret.

I shouldn't done that.

So now I have awareness of this.

So what I'm going to do with this?

Okay.

So I have awareness.

That means I'm still alive.

So I can do something about.

Do something about means sometimes you can make up,

You can replace.

So you do that,

But not always that case,

Not everything you can redo it or you can replacement.

No,

Always not like that.

Then what you do?

At least you can take as a lesson,

Oh,

This is my mistake.

So I have regret.

That is one aspect,

But the other angle you look at,

It is actually,

You learned something there.

So you learned something there means you have a chance to develop another good quality,

Strengthen yourself.

Why?

Because your experience is much better than your intellectual understanding or even a logic understanding much better than that.

So whatever you have to regret is real and experienced.

So then for you,

It seems appears you losing something,

You fail something,

But actually you gaining something.

So that's why some wise man say always win,

Never lose.

Why?

Because you know how to look at that in which anger you can start now.

So that means the regret becomes first step of the right direction.

The first step of the,

Your dual of the incredible qualities.

So that's why is not useless.

Your regret is standing point to the next step of transformation.

So you have to take that away.

So sometimes you did something too wrong to someone and this person is gone.

It's not reachable anymore.

Is a diet or whatever you think is inevitable.

You cannot redo it.

You cannot replace.

You feel no possible.

But actually it is possible because you don't have to do that directly to that person because that person is one version,

But this person can be appear manifest a different person maybe next to you now.

And you have the contact already now.

But at least the spirit maybe know everything,

Whatever you took that wrong action as last and you took this regret as step one toward true transformation,

True strengthening yourself and to build quality within yourself.

So this person might be very happy.

And this person also you have to think about maybe he let you do this,

He or she let you do that because maybe he or she manifest the purpose only for that,

For you.

That's why it was that happen.

So you have to think in many ways always be stuck in one place and stuck on one angle and we narrow down our self,

Our view and we stuck there.

We don't see other millions of possibilities.

So that's the problem.

That's why regret you can prevent right now for future,

But also regret you have to see there's a way of take advantage not necessarily a disadvantage.

So Buddhist point of view we call a provocation condition or you prove by all your negativities your negative karma through your own actions implant in your mind stare at propensity and one day rise that's have well harmful consequences.

But when you have regret is begin to prove why.

So that's why the regret is step one and then step two you know you have willing to prove by this the past present future all connected is not going never going everything not reachable.

Yes some obvious level,

Coarse level is not reachable but the subtle level everything connected so always reachable just have to remember that and do prayers at least you can do a lot of love prayers whoever you owe anything you can replace with your prayers your incredible intention a good motivation to liberate them or at least you to make up to them.

You can do always through your good deeds your good actions your accumulation merits all you can replace them you can redo them for them and you can make up for them or even you can liberate them.

So as usual sit in comfortable place straight away your body forget about the past future and just be present with your prayers all lots go wherever you have regret whoever you with regret go to there these lights and give them incredible warmth and lots in their life and prove by their negativities prove by yourself sometimes the lights go through in your body and lights you send everywhere in the universe you can prove by everybody's negativities for the dedication of this person whatever you think you owe you can do this way as many as you like.

Thank you.
