When you feel bad for the things you didn’t do, that’s REGRET.

When you feel bad for the things you did do, that’s GUILT.

If you need to choose between the two, choose REGRET.

The feeling of regret is fleeting. Eventually, the feeling of regret goes away when new experiences arrive. Then you move on.

But guilt… the feeling of guilt never goes away. You did it already. You can’t change that. And guilt will haunt you forever.

So choose to regret.
