🌿 Let’s Begin Here
My dear friend, regret can feel like a heavy shadow that dims the light of your present. It’s so natural to look back and wish things had been different, especially when years feel lost. Yet, within you is a gentle spark that can transform this pain into wisdom and hope. You are not alone in this journey — many souls have walked this path of regret and found peace beyond it.
🕉️ Timeless Words
न त्वेवाहं जातु नासं न त्वं नेमे जनाधिपाः।
न चैव न भविष्यामः सर्वे वयमतः परम्॥
(Bhagavad Gita 2.12)
"Never was there a time when I did not exist, nor you, nor all these kings; nor in the future shall any of us cease to be."
This verse reminds us that life is eternal and continuous. The moments you think were wasted are but small chapters in the vast story of your soul’s journey. Your essence remains untouched by time’s passing.
🪬 Guiding Lights
- The past is a teacher, not a jailer. Regret shows where your heart yearned for something better.
- You are not your mistakes; you are the awareness that learns from them.
- Every moment is a fresh beginning. The present breath holds infinite possibility.
- Detach from the identity of ‘wasted time’ and embrace the lessons it gave you.
- Act with intention now, and the past will transform into a foundation, not a burden.
🌊 Inner Dialogues
It’s okay to feel the sting of regret — it means you cared deeply. You might be telling yourself, “I should have done better,” or “I’ve lost too much time.” These thoughts can weigh heavily, but they don’t define you. Your heart’s yearning to heal and grow is the truest voice inside. Listen kindly to it, for it holds your path forward.
📿 What He Would Say...
"Child of eternity, do not be bound by the shadows of yesterday. The soul is timeless, and your true self is untouched by any mistake or delay. Rise now, with courage and love. What you call ‘wasted’ is simply the soil from which your wisdom will bloom. Walk forward with open eyes and a steady heart."
🌱 A Familiar Story
Imagine a student who failed an important exam multiple times. Each failure felt like lost years, like a door slammed shut. Yet, with patience and learning, that student finally passed and used the experience to become a compassionate teacher for others. Your life’s ‘failures’ are like that — not ends, but stepping stones to a richer, deeper understanding.
