Regrets vs. Rejection

Have you ever regretted not applying for a program that might have benefited you? Have you ever regretted not asking a question? Have you ever regretted a lie? Have you ever regretted not going up to talk to somebody? Having Regrets and facing Rejection are two issues that we all deal with in our lifetime, and they both are present during times where we need to make important decisions. A regret is an emotion that we feel when we are sorry about an event, a person, or a situation. Rejection happens when someone does not agree with something we did or said.
With that being said, I feel like a lot of people end up having regrets because of the belief that they may get rejected from whatever they desire at the time. I want to inform these people that regret is an emotion that we should try to eliminate from our lives. Most of us have a clear understanding of what is right and what is wrong depending on the choices we make in life. If we listen to our inner voice that is telling us the right thing to do, regretful thoughts will soon be minimized. The choices we make in life determine our destiny, and if you are trying to do something right, to empower your life, why should you fear rejection, or fear failure. If rejection or failure happens to occur after you make your decision, then don't regret it, just look at it as that wasn't meant to happen for you at that time. Keep it moving! Not to sound cliche, but everyone's a winner, lol! We all should strive for success and try to be the best we can be, but rejection and failure are apart of life and they will happen sooner or later, but they are two things that we often learn from the most, and that way we won't make the same mistake again. So why fear it? Live life! Regret is internal, rejection is external, don't worry about what you can't control.
