No regrets.

I have heard a lot of people say that they regret certain things they have done. That they have never done those things and that they feel ashamed. Also that they are responsible people and should have not done those things. Well in my opinion life is to short to regret or feel ashamed of the things you have done. There are certain things that should never leave that location or repeated, but why be hard on yourself?

Never regret what you have done in life. Those are lessons taught in life and should not be repeated. In my case I have done things in this lifetime that 99.9% of you would not approve (by the way I have not killed no one nor robbed a bank). But believe me I will not do them again.

I graduated with an Associates Degree, well educated. Analyze things way to much. And I'm a clean freak (my wife will 100% vouch for that). I have been in fights, have smoked weed and partied real hard and some things that I would need more pages. But does this mean that I feel bad or regret it? On the contraire makes me realize now what a great time I had. And now that I'm a father of three beautiful girls and amazing nieces and nephews (also I would like to include in this list Nancy's kids) I need to teach them the importance of living the life the right way.

They might take the advice or even go in thru one ear and come out the other. But I tried. As an instructor in Florida I was able to talk some sense to some people I meet. And now they are professionals and thank me for the words I gave them. The most important words I told them were "Never regret nothing in life. You learn from your mistakes. And if you set your mind to it you can accomplish anything and everything. You only live once so make it an interesting ride".

I know I'm not perfect and maybe never will, I shall continue to make mistakes in life. And even do some dumb stuff. But I will not regret a second of anything I have done or will do. And I will continue helping others out, I never ask nothing in return (there are a lot of people that can vouch for that one). Because I believe that today it can be you and I will help you, but down the road it can be me. 

So never regret nothing you have done in this lifetime. Be yourself and enjoy life to the fullest. Live and learn. And sometimes you have to let go and let God.
