Mistakes vs. Regrets. We all make mistakes but when they become regrets they harm us. Regrets are the way the negative ego holds you down. When you have regrets you are stuck in shame or guilt for simply a mistake and then the negative ego has you in its hold. Use compassion to find forgiveness. Remember what you felt when you made the mistake. Either you were lacking in self-love or just inexperienced and so learning is needed. Mistakes are how we grow and how we understand ourselves and our place in the world. Mistakes are how we gain experience. Do not let mistakes become regrets so use understanding to know what you were feeling and use compassion to forgive yourself. Mistakes vs. Regrets are allowing yourself to make mistakes and not becoming guilty or shameful. Mistakes are how we grow. Embrace them.

Until next time, be the light the world needs and have love for all.
