Can we truly be happy with regrets? Modern psychology suggests yes – when we stop viewing life as a series of 'perfect' decisions. Regret becomes toxic only when we fixate on rewriting history rather than writing better future chapters. The Japanese concept of 'wabi-sabi' celebrates beauty in imperfection, an approach we can apply to our personal narratives. Consider creating a 'regret inventory': Categorize regrets into 'action' (things you did) and 'inaction' (things you didn't do). This exercise often reveals patterns and priorities worth addressing. Remember: Every 'mistake' contains the seeds of wisdom – your regrets might be compass points guiding you toward more authentic living.
