Regrets: One of The Most Useless Things In Life

The author writes about how regrets are useless. It’s better to redo the regretful things that were left undone than having regrets.

Knowing that I gave my best, knowing that I did what I could do, how can I have regrets in my life?

I often regret my past decisions. 

Regrets: How They Affect My Life

Someday I wake up in the morning after dreaming about my failures. And I start regretting and asking myself,”What if I succeeded?”

“What if I fought harder? What if I tried to succeed a little bit more?”

But I need to remember that I already gave my best.

I have nothing to regret. 

And therefore regret is useless.

It only lowers my self-confidence. And makes me feel guilty for not having a “better” life than what I have now.

There’s no point in regretting it, especially because I’m still very young, and I have a long time to live my life.

But if I can’t stop my regret, then instead of continuing to have regrets, I should try to minimize them by doing the things I should have done NOW.

Because life is not meant to be lived with regrets.

I am only 26, and I’m still not married. I can still take risks.

And although the effect of doing it now won’t be the same as doing it in the past, it can lead me to the same destination.

My Story

When I was in Birla High School in class 11, I couldn’t sit down to study. 

It wasn’t because my back hurt, but because I was facing mental health challenges.

I just couldn’t study. I just wanted to avoid it. 

And I played video games all day and wasted my time.

But I could see no alternative. 

If I forced myself to study, I’d get suicidal thoughts. 

So my only way to survive was to distract myself and play video games.

I told my psychotherapist about it, I asked people on the internet about my problem, I asked my parents, but nobody was able to help me.

I even read self-help books, but it didn’t help me.

So I failed in class 11. And I was detained. 

But now in 2026, my mental health is being treated by the best doctors in India in NIMHANS.

And I am improving.

And there’s no point in regretting it because the past is gone. What’s in my control is the present.

Instead, I should be grateful that I studied business administration in my graduation and post-graduation.

Being a science student in class 12th I should find it easier. 

I should learn from my mistakes and focus on not making those mistakes again.

Conclusion

So what I want to tell you is that regrets are useless and there’s no point in thinking about them.

If you can’t stop the regrets, it’s better to do those things again and stop the regrets.

Or we should be grateful for what we have.

Thank you for reading this line! It means a lot.

Trying – The Secret Of The Universe – Part 2

The author writes about how he had written a philosophy of trying as the secret of the universe and how it still holds true to this day.

On 16th February 2023 I had written a blog post named “Trying:The Secret Of The Universe”. 

In that blog post I had written my story of how my mother’s love and tenacity forced me to go outside my house. 

How Trying Has Helped Me

In this blog post, I want to share with you how that philosophy has helped me in the last 3 years.

Since 16th February 2023, I have improved a lot. My mental health and anxiety has gotten better.

I am able to go outside and am able to identify the real reasons when I’m unable to go outside.

My mother doesn’t have to force me to go outside anymore. 

And I am able to study daily and wake up on time.

I feel more confident and I have been living without my parents in Bangalore for some time.

What I want to say is that I’m trying and that act of faith in trying, knowing that I might fail, is helping me succeed.

I used to write in my older blog posts that I was waiting for my time to come. And I think it did come.

My Story

And in January 2026 I joined a data analyst course. At first I was procrastinating to study. But then I started studying for only 10 minutes. 

Slowly 10 minutes turned to 20 and then an hour and two hours. 

And now I’m almost at the end of my theory lecture parts of the course.

Same with my guitar practice. I started practicing for 10 minutes. 

I also learned to start small and break down the tasks into the essentials.

For example, if someday I’m not feeling like taking a bath, I’d think, “It’s just pouring water on my body and changing clothes.”

Conclusion

So yeah I still think trying is the secret of the universe.

Problem-Solving Is About Persistence: Never Give Up

The author writes about how persistence is required for solving problems in a person’s life. He gives personal examples.

A few weeks ago, I used to wake up at 1pm in the afternoon. But nowadays I wake up between 6am and 9am. It took persistence to figure out the solution.

I did this by making writing blog posts a part of my morning routine. 

As soon as I wake up I start writing a blog post. 

But making writing blogs a part of my morning routine wasn’t so obvious.

I tried reading novels, studying courses, drinking coffee, etc. but nothing worked until I tried blogging in the morning.

And I must tell you, it was more about persistence than critical thinking.

I had to try many things before I could figure out that I wake up faster when I write blogs.

And right now I’m struggling with using social media and long screen times. 

I tried limiting the timers to 30 minutes, but I just seem to extend the duration when the 30 minutes time limit is finished.

I tried deleting all the time pass apps, but I seem to reinstall the social media apps again after a few days of intense boredom.

Likewise, I’m trying to figure out an alternative to spending time scrolling, maybe by going outside more.

But I have a strange aversion towards going outside.

However, I need to overcome it and go outside more.

And I know that if I persist long enough I can solve this problem also.

So yeah I just wanted to share this thought.

Problem-solving requires persistence.

So never give up.
