Regret for life wasted is more life wasted

Happiness and bliss are a reaction to life. It doesnt matter what the day’s events may be, we have the power within to choose happiness.
Our attitude about life and the things that happen to us each day can greatly impact our overall level of happiness. Inside us lies the key to being content and happy right now..right at this moment..but few use it. We have the power to create our own happiness and choosing happiness as a way of life. It isnt a matter of luck – it’s a personal choice we make.
"I have wasted my life."

"If only I had better grades my life would be much better"

"If only I had opted for a different stream..."

"If only I had better exposure while I was in school"
We often talk about the importance of being in the ‘here and now’ but what do we actually mean by this? The problem is we often plan our happiness in the future. If we get that job, tender, admission, relationship, etc, then we will be happy. The problem with planning future happiness means it will always remain elusive.

Just because I screwed up my life till now does not mean it cannot be repaired. Nothing good can come out of sitting and sulking about what you did in the past.
Being happy doesnt mean everything is perfect. It just means you have decided to look beyond the imperfection.

Also, if wasting your life is all what you can do, why not enjoy it. The time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time, after all. And if you cannot do anything about the hole you have dug yourself into, sit and enjoy the view above rather than loathe yourself in self pity.
