30 Ways to Lead a Life Without Regrets

In today’s fast paced life, living without regrets seems like a myth. But the truth is that even though we have become so impulsive today, take decisions without thinking and invest time and energy in ventures which are mostly worthless, it is possible to make life happier. Just by being aware of the fact that you must keep yourself happy no matter what, you will be able to do this. Listed below are 30 ways to lead life without regrets:

1. Accept the fact that you can make mistakes in life and that it does not scar you in any way. Remember that to err is human.

2. Just as “to err is human” it is also true that “to forgive is divine.” So do not hold grudge against anybody who has wronged you in any way. Forgive and forget, and it will lead you towards happiness.

3. What matters most is your well being and your health. Remember that if you want to make others happy, you must be able to make yourself happy first. So make your health and wellness your top priority.

4. Follow your heart. You are meant to be yourself, not what others want you to be. No matter what others say- of course, it is fine to take advice- but at the end of the day, it is your life and not somebody else’s. You are going to live your complete life, so it is up to you to decide how you want to do that.

5. Do not get influenced by other people’s opinions and advice too much. You should think for yourself because only your heart knows what is best for you.

6. Do not judge people because it really does not matter, and it does not make any difference. Also, do not trust your first impression, because most often than not, it is wrong. Get to know a person first, and who knows, you might just be delighted!

7. Accept people for who they are and love them as much as you can.

8. Do not try to change anyone. If you try to change someone for your benefit, it will not bring any peace to your life. Instead, find happiness with whatever you find in the people in your life-and you are bound to find plenty of it!

9. Laugh as much as you can! Remember there is no alternative to humor. Find humor in everything that you see around you. The world will appear livelier, and so will your life!

10. Do not be resistant toward change. Trust that change is for good and that every good thing must have an end, otherwise they would not be good anymore. Also, the end of one good thing makes way for better things ahead!

11. Go ahead and try new things in life. It is no good being caught within four walls. Break boundaries, try new adventures, do things you have never done before and you will find how wonderful and vivacious your life has become.

12. Be grateful for what you have in life. If you consider the fact that actually you are more blessed and privileged than millions of others who struggle to arrange for a square meal a day, you will love the life you have. So count your blessings and stop complaining about the things that you do not have.

13. Do not envy anyone. What another person possesses has nothing to do with your incapability or any injustice done against you. Do not have thoughts of jealousy, and instead, wish well for others, and your own life will be blessed in return.

14. It is good to have dreams and aspirations, but never make them an obsession. You should be able to love your journey, as well as your destination.

15. Share happiness. Remember that the only thing that increases when you share is happiness. And if you become responsible to make many others happy, you will definitely get more happiness back in return.

16. Do not get lost in the pursuit of money and other material possessions. People who have a lot of those things may not be happy in its true sense. Seek happiness in life; rest of everything will come to you easily enough.

17. Pray for the well being of others. Do not wish ill of anyone even if he/she is an enemy. If you cannot love someone, do not hate either.

18. Your negative thoughts affect your life just as your positive thoughts do. So you should exercise control over your negative thoughts because they do contribute to what happens in your life.

19. Do not complain. Complaining is easy to do, but instead you should appreciate things which are wonderful. When you complain or worry, you spend a lot of energy. Use the same energy over positive things instead.

20. Be the change you want to see in the world. Do not expect that others will do what needs to be done. You should take the first step.

21. Accept the fact that you cannot change everything. There are things which cannot be changed or that you cannot change them.

22. You should love your work. Do not complain about too much work or a hectic schedule. When you love your work, it does not seem like work anymore.

23. Never be taken over by your problems. Remember that you are meant to have problems because you are very much alive! So take problems as a challenge and solve them.

24. Be empathetic. See things from others’ perspectives. You will also be able to see your problems from different angles and be able to solve them better.

25. Do not procrastinate. By postponing important tasks for later, you eventually make yourself less efficient and slow. Instead, finish your job when the time is right, so that later you do not regret.

26. Do not be parochial. Broaden your mind and have a wider perspective of things. Do not be narrow minded, because it will not allow you to open up to the many wonders of life.

27. Be the person you would want to spend the rest of your life with. You will attract all the people in your life who you would love to be with.

28. Do not spend too much time trying to please people who are disagreeable. If someone does not like you, move on, because there will be several others who will.

29. Respect people for who they are and do not judge people by their appearance or stature, because who someone is from within is what matters the most.

30. Do things that you love to do, no matter how silly they are, because what is most important is that you be happy. For, unless you are happy yourself, you cannot spread happiness among the people around you.
