But the most important lesson I’ve learned was that you don’t regret what you did in life, you regret what you didn’t do.

Don’t regret what you don’t have.’

Very few regrets in life are about what you did. Almost all are about what you didn’t do.

Do not regret what you have done

For my own part, regret nothing. Have lived life, free from compromise...and step into the shadow now without complaint.

We spend so much time being afraid of failure, afraid of rejection. But regret is the thing we should fear most. Failure is an answer. Rejection is an answer. Regret is an eternal question you will never have to answer to. "What if..." "If only...""I wonder what would have..." You will never, never know, and it will haunt you for the rest of your days."

I'd rather regret the things I've done than regret the things I haven't done

I don’t dwell on regrets. There are many things in my life I could, with hindsight, have done differently but I don’t regret them. The mistakes have contributed to who and where I am today.

Personally of course I regret everything.
Not a word, not a deed, not a thought, not a need,
not a grief, not a joy, not a girl, not a boy,
not a doubt, not a trust, not a scorn, not a lust,
not a hope, not a fear, not a smile, not a tear,
not a name, not a face, no time, no place...that I do not regret, exceedingly.
An ordure, from beginning to end.

Do not regret what you have done.

Of the hundreds of answers, most had one thing in common: the majority of regrets were about failures to act, not actions that failed. Psychologists have found that over time we usually regret the chances we missed, not the chances we took.
