Decide, then Accept. No Regrets.

The man who insists upon seeing with perfect clearness before he decides, never decides. Accept life, and you cannot accept regret.

—Henri Frédéric Amiel (Public Domain)

I have spent a lot of time in my life regretting past decisions. Far too much time. Our souls were placed here to learn; to make mistakes; to keep moving spiritually forward. Instead of lamenting past decisions made, we should embrace them…all of them! Once we accept that God led us down a particular path for a reason, we can begin to understand this spiritual journey we are on.

So, think of a decision in your life which you later regretted, or even something that happened to you out of the blue that made you feel forsaken, and say to yourself, “Brilliant! Thank God I was led down this path, for the destination will be glorious!”
