Old Regret can be many things. It can be a missed opportunity or a broken relationship. The answer is always the same. Forgiveness has to happen before you can move forward. 

You have to understand that forgiveness is a choice. Forgiveness is an action. It is a response to all the available options. 

Above all we work to live in the present moment. Cultivation of awareness! Disappointment, guilt and fear can all alter how we perceive the present. 

We have to work to not allow trauma to bleed over into other parts of our lives. We have to remain active in the process of forgiveness through the tool of empathy. 

Remember, forgiveness is rarely a one and done decision. It is a process we engage in for our entire lives. 

A lifetime of forgiveness is better than a lifetime of resentment.
