Regrets, none of us can't say we haven't lived without regrets, because we all have. It's how we learn, accept and acknowledge the regret that matters. Saying you are sorry and forgiving the cause and effect of the regret is what will move you on, holding on to the regrets and its cause and effect will keep you captive and captivating: defeat, loneliness, sadness, fear, hurt, depression and much, much more. Release it and you open yourself up to a whole world of possibilities; love, hope, strength, friendship, relationship, self-empowerment, improvement, success, dreams, visions, healing, prosperity, happiness and much, much, much more. Learn to forgive yourself and others. Regret is a heavy load to carry and it so heavy that is slows you down and holds you back. Dump your load and release the regret, by FORGIVING. You know you're "Waiting to Exhale" AGAPE

Someone told me that, Tomorrow isn't promised to us and I simply responded, " I know that when Tomorrow comes it will be more Blessed than Today. I know that with Tomorrow HOPE is coming my way. I know that Tomorrow is promised to me, because Tomorrow was Today, and Today will be Yesterday, TOMORROW!" I live by FAITH not by sight. AGAPE
