## [140] "I chose not to go on a huge opportunity."
## [141] "I interviewed for two jobs and was offered both. Instead of taking the job that I felt more of a connection with, I took the one that paid more. Worse mistake of my life.

## [165] "In 2010 there was house not far from here that I could've paid cash for with the proceeds from the sale of this one. I ultimately decided not to proceed because my dog at the time would've become a noisy nuisance in a regular neighborhood. I did not contemplate that he would not always be with me."

## [244] "My biggest regret of inaction would be that I did not purchase Bitcoin when is was cheaper. I was *this close* to buying several Bitcoins when it was still around $400.

## [299] "This is a tough one because I think it's happening right now. I feel that I should follow my dream and move back to Florida, but it would be a totally different part of Florida where I wouldn't know anyone to pursue some interests. But I'm terrified.

I only came here because I had no other choice at the time."

## [302] "My dad died last year. He was in a nursing facility at the time and in addition to his major health issues related to diabetes, his dementia got much worse that final year. We were not allowed in to see him due to Covid. During those final months, I didn't call him as often as I should have because for me, it was very painful to talk to him like that, and I wasn't sure that he even knew it was me.

## [303] "My biggest inaction regret was not continuing on to my Master's degree"

## [326] "I regret not going to a Nirvana concert when I had the chance. I thought it was kinda expensive at the time and figured that I'd have many more chances to see the band. Then Kurt Cobain died and I never got to see them live."
## [327] "After I have graduated from college, I was hoping to continue pursue my study in the direction of dentistry. After discussing with my professor, he said dentist is not a very well respected position in the medical field and would not be much needed since most people hygiene has been improved. I got discouraged and dropped the idea and that became the biggest inaction regret."
## [328] "I should have openly talked with my ex-husband when we were in a good place for that talk."
## [329] "I had a chance to be an extra in a major movie but left my id in my glove compartment and the handlers wouldn't let me go and retrieve it. So my chance for big screen stardom is on hold. I wish I had thought to bring my id with me to the extra audition."
## [330] "I stayed with my first job after college for several years, even though I did not enjoy it at all. I should have started looking for a job I would enjoy after one year."

## [332] "After applying for medical school during my senior year of college and not even getting one interview, including the university I attended. Really wish I had applied the next year or even 4 years later after I finished mty master's degree. Oh well, that ship has sailed now!"

## [246] "I would not have invested so much in a cryptocurrency alt-coin when it was at an all time high. I was worried the price would continue to climb if I didn't get in at that moment, despite my inner voice telling me to wait it out another day or two. Had I waited for the inevitable dip in price, I could have gotten in at a lower entry point, this saving me more money."

## [292] "I allowed myself to get upset over a situation that I should not have let bother me. I allowed this feeling to take over my afternoon and ruin a beautiful day that I could have spent with friends. I regret allowing my concerns and frustrations get the best of me."

## [298] "I regret wasting money on something that I didn’t need."
## [299] "I did something at work that involved doing a part of someone's job that I should not have done. I regret doing it now because I crossed a fine line and we have since worked it out. However I still reject crossing the line and doing part of her job."

## [301] "I don't know if this is considered \"action\", but I had a ridiculous problem with a grocery store where they were supposed to deliver food to me and kept me waiting until almost midnight and never told me they weren't showing up. They ended up showing up the next morning at the crack of dawn AND charged me 3 times for my order. So...in the end, after all of my complaining, it seems that I accidentally got my food for free, but I haven't told them because I'm afraid they're going to screw up my debit card AGAIN. I feel a little guilty keeping the money and not telling them their mistake, but I justify it by saying I deserve it."

## [303] "My girlfriend and I just lost a beloved pet. We have been having a rather difficult time dealing with his passing. I wish I had not suggested that we begin disposing of some medications and other items that are serving as reminders/mementoes of the little fellow. I believe it caused my girlfriend further pain."
## [304] "I wish that I had not gotten into a verbal disagreement with my manager at work. She is bi-polar and sometimes goes off on me.

## [322] "I sent out an email to the head of my department as a way of sending employee feedback about being short staffed. The action came across as a complaint instead of feedback and it affected my reputation."
## [323] "I wish I had waited longer to repot a new plant that I brought home this past week. Typically, I wait a week until I repot plants so they can acclimate to the new environment first. I skipped that step this past week and regret it."
## [324] "I spent money at the casino"
## [325] "I had a rough week getting through the end of the semester with my students and my child. My attitude suffered."
## [326] "An action regret in this past week would have been making dinner which took forever."
## [327] "I wish I had not joined in the Wednesday Zoom call with other women. It was a waste of time and not very well attended."
## [328] "I bought a steak and left it in the refrigerator for too many days before I decided to cook it. When I finally pulled it out, it smelled funny, so I through it out rather than risk getting sick. It was an expensive steak, so I was bummed."
## [329] "I was in intermitted fasting routine for the past 4 months and even though the results were not very positive, my body felt quite good to keep me continue. On thursday night, I felt quite stressful after I discussed a potential job with my ex-boss, I went to open a bottle of wine and ended up drinking almost all of it. This broke my fasting practice and I felt bad that I didn't control my drinking."

## [351] "I yelled at one of my granddaughters. To be fair, she is a 13-almost 14-year old, and she knows exactly which of my buttons to push. But I despise yelling. It means that I've lost control of my own emotions and reactions."
## [352] "I wish I had spent my money differently. Saved it instead."
## [353] "I went to the doctor even because I was a little paranoid something was wrong even though everyone told me I was fine. It ended up being ok, and the doctor costs a lot of money, so I definitely regret that."

## [388] "The biggest regret of action that I have from this past week is spending too much money on something that I didn't need. I could have used that for bills or a gift for my husband instead."

## [405] "I bought myself a new washing machine and dryer. My washer quit working. My son tried to repair it but couldn't. I could have just bought a used washing machine and kept my dryer that was working, but I didn't. I decided I wanted a new matching set and bought it with some of my money in savings. Now I wish I hadn't spent the money. I am trying to get out of credit card debt, and the money I spent on a new washer/dryer was really supposed to be set aside for an emergency. A matching washer/dryer isn't an emergency. If a real emergency happens I will not be prepared."
## [406] "I rearranged the furniture in my living room. I find that i do not like it very much. It was alot of work so I may just live with it."
## [407] "I legitimately don't have one. Covid kind of kills my interest in leaving the house more than I have to. So, it kind of keeps me from doing stupid shit that I'll regret. I might have a regret in the past year or month, but a week is just too small a time frame. Oh man, please don't hold it against me, I'm taking this survey in good faith."

## [409] "I purchased a Nintendo Switch for my daughter on a whim, but really should have waited until the summer to get one instead of now."
## [410] "My son has not told his dad that he is gender fluid. A couple of days ago his dad had to bring over my son's medications, because he had decided to stay the night at our home instead of with his dad. His dad had questions about suspect things that have happened at their house, these things are because my son has came out to me as gender fluid. I lied to his dad and omitted answers to his questions. My loyalty is to my child, and not his dad. We are no longer married and have been divorced for 8 years."
## [411] "I decided to impulsively move from one area of the city to another in a very short amount of time"

## [437] "Rushing while cooking dinner for my grandpa's birthday"
## [438] "This past week I spent a great deal of money on something that was more spur of the moment, of-which I would typically not simply buy. I think it was a combination of the past year and current situation and wanting to feel in control of something, tho regretted later."
## [439] "I took something from someone because I was mad at them."
## [440] "I regret that while going through old photos I asked my father in an email why everyone looks grumpy in a picture. If I took another moment and saw the date taken I would have known the photo was taken shortly after my grandfather's funeral years ago. I regret making my father relive the time when his father died by bringing it to his attention in that old photo."
## [441] "Getting mad at a colleague and telling him as much since I though his work was substandard (whereas in fact he just wasn't done with it)."

## [317] "There are things that you will encounter in life that are completely out of your control. And then there are things that you can control.\n\nThe aspects about yourself that you can control are patience, steadfastness, responsibility, and strength. Through these personal ventures, you will experience love, compassion, luck, light, liberty, life, and trust.\n\nThe first step towards success is recognizing that you have the power to change. Once recognized, you’ll see the full spectrum of steps ahead of you.\n\nTaking full responsibility in the failures and successes helps you become self-aware enough in order to think ahead. Avoiding responsibility tends to help you create subtle excuses that you don’t realize that you are hiding behind of. Over time facing the truth becomes more difficult which inevitably stifles your personal growth.\n\nYour recognition in power to change is manifested through the inertia of effort and intention.\n\nWhen you recognize that light vs. dark does not exist in conflict but instead are merely reflections of each other that are within you and outside of you, you will know how to direct your effort and intention in the right way in order to navigate into your success."

There is a big tendency to blame people and circumstances for how we feel, or why we aren't in a place we want to be.\n\nThere is a bigger tendency to look to our relationships and material possessions to “make us happy.” You are the only one who can “make” you feel anything specifically, and truthfully most of us aren't disciplined enough to follow through for ourselves.\n\nPersonal responsibility shows up in many ways, some you think of off the top of your head, but others are quite subtle. There is a Jim Rohn quote that really impacted me I wanted to share with you, searching for it I came up with many more great examples of his. So indulge me a little here, please.\n\n\nJim Rohn, an entrepreneur and business philosopher sums up personal responsibility up perfectly for me.\n\n“Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going.” – Jim Rohn\n\n“No one else “makes us angry.” We make ourselves angry when we surrender control of our attitude.” – Jim Rohn\n\n“Don’t wish it was easier wish you were better. Don’t wish for less problems wish for more skills. Don’t wish for less challenge wish for more wisdom” – Jim Rohn\n\n“If you really want to do something, you’ll find a way. If you don’t, you’ll find an excuse.” – Jim Rohn\n\n“We must all suffer one of two things: the pain of discipline or the pain of regret.” – Jim Rohn\n\n“If you don’t design your own life plan, chances are you’ll fall into someone else’s plan. And guess what they have planned for you? Not much.” – Jim Rohn\n\nThe bottom line is it is your life, take the reins and enjoy the adventure!"

## [317] "Thinking as to how God's Word tells us about exactly this kind of conundrum.. “with God, one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as a day”…My husband and I also struggle with that kind of thing sometimes. It's truly disturbing at times. Sometimes it even makes sense person feel as if you aren't quite part of the here and now.\n\nIt may be because of a brain thing where there is a dissociation between what happened long ago and the very full present.\n\nInterestingly, something I noticed the one day was that every time when the very familiar mountains in front of us v are surrounded by low cloud vabd only the very top is visible, it looks as if the mountains are so close that you can touch them..but actually the truth is that they are far away …. JUST vas far away as yesterday. It's a very strange experience.\n\nWhat we surmise is that since the clouds are obscuring the entire bottom part of the mountain, the brain is now TOTALLY confused and unable to estimate how high the mountains actually are .. and how far away. Presumably the LACK of information has then led to this conundrum. (There's a gap in information). So now we are forced to resort to recorded memory to fill in the spaces.\n\nIf however, I leave home for town, to travel towards the exact same mountains, approaching them from s distance greater than the sum total of my home perspective, my only reaction is to be startled at the fact that they were so MUCH further away than my deceived mind thought.\n\nHowever, in life, especially if you are young and very occupied with the busy-ness of living life, that time is often measured in the rapid time as defined and measured by experiences, … whilst there are a whole lot of other or even similar things that happened, the time of which is and can only be measured within the context of our experience.\n\nThus it seems to be experiences (or the lack of them) that form the frame of reference for what defines and gives perspective to our experiences."

When I returned to work, a lot of my co-workers were upset with me (even though they didn't know I wasn't ill) and one of them yelled at me over a miscommunication and now I have an extra lunch duty (I am a teacher) added to my already hectic daily schedule. That totally caught me off guard and I know it is because they were all mad at me for being out, since I work with two of the most challenging kids in the entire school and when I am not there, no one can handle it (understanding my desire for a mental health day?!)"
