Why Live With Regret?

Don't you hate when you beat yourself up over a decision that you are not sure is right?  Robert Frost wrote a poem called "A Road Not Taken" that explains the difficulty in making a decision, but at some point we have to make choices and live with it.  We will make a lot of decisions in our lives, and we cannot regret everything we choose.

We have to make choices whether we like it or not.  Decisions are being made all around us.  You have  to decide who your friends are going to be.  You need to figure out if you are going to hang out with fun people or people who care.  People are also doing drugs and alcohol every day.  You will be put in situations where you have to decide if you will fall into these temptations.

When we make a choice, we have to deal with it.  At some point, students will graduate from high school, and they have to choose between many different colleges.  Once the students decide which college they will attend, they should not regret the school they chose.  Teenagers may have to decide if they want to go to a party that may be no good.  If the teenager decides to go to this party, then they should not regret it.  They should understand that they will make mistakes.

We are forced to make decisions from the time we get up to the time we go to bed.  We cannot spend our whole lives being threatened by our choices.  We must make decisions and deal with it.
