regret is an attempt to rewrite the past

all the screw ups were needed to bring you here

if one second was changed the present moment would not be overflowing with perfect potential 

this moment right now could never have been improved upon

seeing this is what peace means

How do you still stay motivated if you are always peaceful? If no matter what happens you're always peaceful then how do you motivate yourself to achieve your goals?

 

Isn’t the pain of regret motivating? We do things so that we don’t regret them in the future?

By realizing that you are defining yourself with past you! with past knowledge,level of thinking etc. Which is not you right now and now you learned what you should avoid those mistakes in the future...

I don't understand, I can be happy and strive to fulfil some purpose.. what's the problem? Regret is just bad imagination, you conjure up some excuse to feel bad. Just focus on something motivating. Why not? Happiness and growth.
