Maybe. Maybe not.

If you have a lifetime full of regrets that also means you have a lifetime full of experiences that others might not have had. Maybe you could find a way to use your experiences to help others.

The reason why one is not a failure is bc failure suggests negativity. But failure is a positive, since that's one way that we learn.

Have you been comparing yourself to others? Don't. Everybody is different. Everyone is at a different life learning level. What's good for one might not be good for another.

Have you been fearful of what other people might be thinking about you? Don't be concerned with what others might think - 1. You're not a mind reader, and 2. Do what *feels* right for you. Not everyone can or wants to travel the same path. Learn to hear and pay attention to your intuition.

Did you really fail, or did you just find 10,000 ways that didn't work? (Thomas Edison)

Did you really fail, or have you only been looking at one facet of the many faceted diamond?

Have you only been looking at the negative side of things without seeking the positive? The more you focus on the good, the more good you will see. "Accentuate the positive. Eliminate the negative. Latch on to the affirmative." (Disney)

You can't change the past. It's ok to ponder what you could have done better, but once you see where you could have made better choices, move on. Don't dwell on the past.
