Mistakes are a part and parcel of life. Every single human being on this earth has made some mistake or the other. We cannot learn if we do not make mistakes. Some people make them knowingly and others unknowingly. Also, there will be some very grave mistakes that we make that could change the entire course of our lives. However, when something severe happens because of your mistakes, then it tends to follow you around like a ghost in your mind.
You keep telling yourself you wish you were different, or you wish that you had not done what you did, and so on and so forth. This is called regret. Everyone who has made mistakes often regrets them at some point of time or the other in their lives. Sometimes regret can bring extreme amounts of sadness into our lives.
If you have made several mistakes and lived your life rather irresponsibly, then know being remorseful about your mistakes will not change anything. You have realized your mistakes and that itself is a big step forward. So, you can start pulling yourself together and execute what you have learnt from your past mistakes.
Every mistake teaches you a moral like responsibility, kindness, generosity and so on. Learn to practice them better. Try to improve your life and make yourself a happy person. You will turn out to be better than everyone else you know. People swill is surprised and shocked to see you but that is what you want -- the acceptance and the change to be acknowledged.
