5 Things You'll NEVER Regret in Life Who likes regrets? Here are five things you'll never regret in life: 1. The Risks You Take Every risk taken is an action taken. And, life successes come to those who act, not to those who watch. You should never regret the risks you take, because every one was a chance taken on something more, something new, something better. Sometimes the risks don’t work out though, which is why you should never regret… 2. What does failure mean anyway? Failures don’t exist, really. Everything you’ve ever achieved has been the result of failure. 3. Never apologize for being yourself, so long as being yourself isn’t less than your best self. Sometimes that’s not good enough for some people. 4. We don’t have much time. 5. Your happiness is a thing to be selfish about. Feelings of “loyalty” or routine only hurt your Self, especially when those you’re attached to only hurt You.
