| Living
Without Regrets |

I always
think of the song "Non Je ne regrette rien", which
Edith Piaf was famous for singing, whenever I visit Paris.
It is of course a French song, and well known, so that easily
explains why it popped into my head whilst sitting in the
airplane en route to Paris. |
Its words prompted me to ask the question
of how to live one's life without regrets. What are the key
parameters or guidelines which are needed so as to live life
to the full and to regret little? Perhaps one way in which
we might begin an examination of this topic is to first identify
the sorts of things which we might regret. |
We might regret not having spoken up
and said what we were thinking, or perhaps not told somebody
we loved them more often. We might regret not having "been
there" to help and to care more frequently or more consistently.
In either of these wishes it in unlikely that we would regret
the opposite. We might well regret having hurt someone but
would rejoice at having acted in a manner which made another
person happy. |
In relation to work, we might regret
not having worked in a different way, or worked longer hours
or fewer hours. We might regret that we missed opportunities
to travel or opportunities to learn. Few of us ever feel that
we travelled too much, learned too much or saw too much. We
might regret that we did not approach life with more of a
sense of balance. |
I'm sure I could go on and on with these
types of examples, but to me there is a common theme which
can be pulled out from these examples; the most important
things in life are to be thoughtful and caring to others,
to do a good turn if you can but not to do a bad one. Alongside
this it is important to learn and to grow and to grasp opportunities
as and when they arise; we therefore need to possess the requisite
levels of self-confidence so as to feel able to go for it.
|
This is why you often hear the phrase
that the greatest gift you can give to your kids is confidence.
With confidence the world is your oyster and you are less
likely to live with regrets. In fact, confidence is also the
greatest gift you can give to yourself. |
Perhaps that sounds to be a strange concept
to you? Perhaps you think that you cannot do anything to build
your confidence? But you can build your own confidence, and
it is an easier process than you might have expected. |
Hypnosis allows you to access your subconscious
mind which is the part which acts automatically and spontaneously.
With hypnosis therefore you can change deep rooted beliefs
about yourself and your abilities and your self-worth. Simply
by listening to a hypnosis mp3 designed to build confidence
you will find that you open your mind to far greater opportunities.

gift of confidence and sow the seeds which allow you to live
your life without regrets. |
