I tell myself that what I'm doing *today* is important. At 30 I would look back and wish I'd done this or that when I was 20. When I hit 40 I would look back and wish I'd done that or this. Finally I've gotten to the point that I don't want to turn 50 and look back at today and say, "I wish I'd done xxx."
That's why I track my car. That's why I still play music. That's why I still surf. That's why I'm following my heart for awhile instead of my head.
As for things I regret? Not speaking up for myself early and often in relationships. And wish that I'd learned to say "no" a long time ago. Still working on that one...
I wish I'd double majored in music instead of switching. I wish I'd stuck to my guns and risked failure in the business instead of taking the "safe" route.
Another interesting question is what things *don't* you regret? Oddly enough, I don't regret my "lost years", even though they were totally f*cked up. They helped to make me who I am (whoever that is).
