Do you regret how your life turned out?

Yes, our life is fated to be uncomfortable from time to time and no I don’t regret how mine turned out – despite the recent bumps.

Nope. I consider regret a waste of time.

Although something good came my way recently after years of uphill and I DO appreciate it, I have to say that I am full of regrets. Yes, life is fated to be uncomfortable most of the time and it is our flexibility and adaptability that cushion the bumps. I would have liked a different turnout and I have nobody but myself to blame for the way I messed up. I have learnt that my bitterness is not only making me sick, but is also making me obnoxious to to those around me. The sooner I start accepting and moving on to better things the better.

Regret is the fingerprint of a failed mind, I just made that up but it sounds like some clever bastard said it many years ago.

I’m more surprised at how frivolous it often seems, but then again, my memory is probably no longer as sharp as I prefer to believe. For you optimists. Want a reason to look forward to that upcoming bout with Alzheimer’s disease? You can hide your own Easter eggs!

Any time I am close to that, I call into my mind the fact that I could have very well been born in africa where I starve to death, china where I end up a slave in a factory, russia where I end up assassinated by the KGB, india where I end up in the lowest caste, the middle east where I get murdered by terrorists, or “america” where I get murdered by an inbred redneck.
Really, compared to all that, I won the Jackpot.

What is an inbred redneck? @ragingloli

Considering how many times I thought I might get killed in the ME, I am pretty happy how it turned out

Just finished a five hour weeding/watering of the garden that should give us enough self grown veg to last us until 2015’s harvest.

I have no regrets about that.

I have had and continue to experience a very challenging last couple of years after many years of extreme happiness and comfort. Regrets, no, regret is a waste of energy, but boy, if I had KNOWN what I know now, well…..haha
I shoulda bought that retirement bungalow in Costa Rica in 2006, before the economy tanked, now I’m stuck in this fucked up country until I die. lol

Life isn’t easy and I regret things I’ve done, but I’m happy where I’m at and happy with what I have.

Life is full of ups and downs. I have some minor regrets, but can’t think of anything I’d actually want to change. I’ve set foot on 4 continents, learned a few useful trades and even more skills, found a woman that has put up with me for >20 years… overall not a bad life, just a few setbacks and rough spots.

Nobody has a perfect life 100% of the time. But I have yet to meet a happy shut-in; happiness requires going out and doing stuff.

I am not through yet.

I will let you know.

@MollyMcGuire an inbred redneck is a redundant term.

I don’t have too many regrets, but you can’t beat yourself for making decisions when life takes a sour turn every time. The fact is life is unpredictable, so it’s best to adjust with a positive attitude, and not beat yourself for ‘failure’.

My life has taken a lousy turn in the last year, and I’ve only been able to land an occasional menial job that’s only temporary. I can’t find any work in my field, so I was considering either moving to another part of my state, or maybe a neighboring one.

Nope, when your past calls, don’t answer it has nothing to say!

I don’t regret how I turned out. I’m satisfied knowing that I achieved a some of my goals. But I sure would like to give it another shot to do better.

Yes. Too many and too critical missed opportunities.

I don’t really regret anything as such but I do feel that I could’ve done better with just a little more effort, but I believe what I’ve achieved is what I actually deserve. Nonetheless, I feel satisfied altogether.
Hoping things to get super in future.

Not anymore. Dat tunnel light, baby.

Unless you’re dead, your life hasn’t “turned out” one way or another yet. There’s still time for change.

My life has been an ongoing uphill battle for the last seven or eight years, but now the hard work is FINALLY starting to pay off. I have really high hopes for where the next five or ten years will take me.

Pretty much. However I know enough to know that where I am today has been wrought by my own hands, therefore I cannot bitch. It’s not all bad either, and it’s up to me to do something about it if I am unhappy. At least I live in a place where I am allowed to make my own choices, so while I regret a lot of shit, at least I have the luxury to find blame in myself for it.

No. Could be better, could be worse.
