Hello and welcome to another episode of the Mark Rose podcast.

Today I'm coming at you with a solo episode where we are going to be talking about regret,

resentment, anger, and how that can all lead to alignment.

If you have regret about a choice you've made, if you have resentment about a relationship

thing that has happened, or a life circumstance that has happened,

where you have anger about it, about betrayal, about all the things. It makes sense. We're not here

to dismiss or invalidate your emotions, but you need to watch this if you want to be able to

move through that emotion and leave that in the past. I have seen regret about decisions we've made, about things we've done,

about not saying the thing, saying this thing wrong, right? We go back and we reevaluate and

reruminate and we think about all the different ways we could have had that conversation and

things we could have done differently. But the truth is that you wouldn't know the wisdom

that you now have from what you went through in that relational circumstance or that life circumstance.

You wouldn't even have that wisdom that you can regret something without the experience.

That's the trap or the prison of regret.

Is that the only reason you have the awareness that you should

have done something differently is because you didn't. And that's a hard paradox to hold, right?

Because you might be like, man, I wish I could take back this, this, this, and this. You can't.

So since you can't, let's not spend our lives stuck in the prison of wishing we could go back

and time and do something differently because time is inviting you to do something differently

moving forward. It's inviting you to be someone different moving forward. And that can feel

confronting, right? Because if you start moving forward, then it can feel like a betrayal to the mistake you made in your

past. It can also feel like I don't want to let it go. Like if I move on, then I'm letting them off the hook.
