# On Regretting Past Decisions I will always regret things. Regretting the past is normal. Regretting the choices you’ve made means that you have, since making those choices, grown enough to notice the mistakes you were previously oblivious to. Attempts to avoid future regrets are futile and could only lead to personal stagnation. Do not be afraid to make bold choices just because you may regret them in the future and always remember the wise words of Denis Waitley: “Failure is something we can avoid only by saying nothing, doing nothing, and being nothing.”
