THE COMEBACK:




"YE SHALL FIND HAPPINESS AS LONG AS YE BOTH SHALL LIVE."















“SERIOUSLY?"










THE MESSAGE:

Regret is a negative cognitive/emotional state where one feels sad or disappointed. It may involve blaming ourselves for a bad outcome or feeling a sense of loss or sorrow at what might have been. It usually involves  wishing that we could undo a previous choice.

COMMON REGRETS:

• Lacking the courage to live a life true to oneself,
• Lacking the courage to express  feelings.
• Losing  purpose by working too hard on reputation. 
• Following someone else's dream.
• Taking  loved ones for granted. 
• Burning  bridges.
• Telling lies. 
• Forgetting to live in the moment. 
• Denying others happiness

SELF AWARENESS AND REFLECTION

Be willing to recognize your limits. 

Do not waste your time and energy regretting something you’ve done or wishing that things could be different.

You don’t have to go it alone. Be smart enough to know you need help, brave enough to ask and strong enough to accept.

Practice keeping your reflections on  positive experiences.

Concentrate on  things productive and attainable.

Don't let worry or unreasonable fear get in your way.

Appreciate the good memories you made along the way. Happiness is a genuine goal. Concentrate on a happy environment in your lifetime.

THE PUN:

IS TODAY’S HUMANITY BEING CONTROLLED BY IGNORANCE AND APATHY? I DON’T KNOW AND DON’T CARE!

THE QUESTION:

YOU SHOULD ASK YOURSELF

• What activities bring you the most joy?
• What is most important to you?
• Is there an issue or cause that you care deeply about?
