SAWDUST

.

.


You wouldn't let termites destroy your house


Chewing and tunneling away


Until the whole thing falls down


Well, regrets are the termites of the emotional world


They gnaw and nibble away at the very beams that hold up your house


Your self-esteem and joy of living life


How do you know if you are being diminished by regrets?


Observe your thoughts for little piles of sawdust


Composed of self-doubt, misery over the past, resentments


And feeling like part of your life was wasted


(Wasting your life on regretting wasting your life


Is a waste of life)


These are clear signs you have regrets


You can eradicate these regrets by concentrating on the Now


Forgiving yourself for being young, inexperienced, and naive


Put the valuable lesson in your Wisdom file


A file that consists of a costly compilation of lessons


We have paid for in full with our time and essence


We may not have profited in the way we hoped


We only profited by learning something very important


Regrets can appear at any time, to anyone


Spray them with acceptance and self-forgiveness


Seal it shut, secure in the knowledge you will not make that mistake


Ever ever again.
