For as long as I can remember, I've been having lengthy conversations with my father regarding plenty of subjects. It would probably be accurate to describe them as debates, but not in the sense that they ever get heated or intense for that matter, but more because we often challenge each other to take a different perspective.

It was probably in one of those conversations that this particular subject first came up, and as with many others, we've revisited these ideas over and over attempting to reach a polished conclusion. Of course, what I'm about to say is not true for absolutely everyone, but it is quite true for most of us, or at least this has been my experience in life.

We all embrace our biggest flops, and we do so because we must. Maybe the way we break this down can differ, but it seems like all of us learn in one way or another to accept and build off the mistakes we've made.

Most of us have experienced extremely painful situations at some point in time. Some of us have felt the full weight of bad decisions and even fell into the horrendous trap of the "why me?" a time or two. Some of us are there right now even, but if we look back to those situations, while at the same time ponder on who we are today, we can actually find gratitude, as twisted as it may sound.

In other words, a healthy mind, in my opinion, can look back at the worse experience it had to endure, accept it with humility, find forgiveness and sometimes even find wisdom. A strong will can build from the most soul crushing blows and find strength and renewed convictions, even though doing so is never quite that easy.

Here's my point when I talk about regrets, or my advice if you will.....

Have none....

but be humble enough to learn from the mistakes you've made, thats the key to moving forward.
