Two Words That Change Everything

Excerpt of this article from beliefnet.com:

“…You’d be amazed,â€? said the Old Man, “If you knew how many thousands of times I’ve sat in this chair and listened to woeful sentences beginning with those two words. ‘If only,’ they say to me, ‘I had done it differently—or not done it at all. If only I hadn’t lost my temper, said that cruel thing, made that dishonest move, told that foolish lie. If only I had been wiser, or more unselfish, or more self-controlled.’ They go on and on until I stop them. Sometimes I make them listen to the recordings you just heard. ‘If only,’ I say to them, ‘you’d stop saying if only, we might begin to get somewhere!’”

The Old Man stretched out his legs. “The trouble with if only,” he said, “is that it doesn’t change anything. It keeps the person facing the wrong way—backward instead of forward. It wastes time. In the end, if you let it become a habit, it can become a real roadblock—an excuse for not trying anymore…

“Do you have such a phrase to recommend?”

“Certainly. Strike out the words ‘if only’; substitute the phrase next time…”

Survey on Life Regrets

This is a survey about the regrets people have in life. A regret involves feeling bad about something you wish you had done differently. Sometimes people regret things they DID DO, and other times they regret things they DIDN’T DO. In this survey you’ll be asked to record three different regrets, answer some brief questions about those regrets, and answer a few questions about yourself.

This survey will take approximately 5 to 8 minutes to complete. When you are finished, the web page will automatically summarize the responses of other anonymous participants for you.
