I used to have regret about my mistakes, but now I have gratitude for them.


I used to have regret about my mistakes, but now I have gratitude for them.

Because of my errors I am able to forgive and have compassion for others as I can understand how one can make poor judgments based on being possessed by the ego, or overtaken by pain. If I was a perfect person I wouldn't be able to harness that same deep level of compassion and understand because I wouldn't know what it's like to err, to misstep, to stumble and bear the pain of negative action.

Regrets still flare up but they are now transformed into compassion.
