His experience reveals how deeply regret can hurt. Yet the purpose of reflecting on the past is not to remain trapped in sorrow over what might have been. Every person is given a unique life by Hashem: a particular history, family, personality, set of abilities, challenges, successes, and mistakes. Comparing our circumstances with another person’s is meaningless, because with their circumstances, we would no longer be ourselves. Hashem does not expect us to achieve someone else’s perfection. He gives each of us the precise tools needed to pursue our own. Regret is an essential part of teshuvah only when it leads immediately to change. The rearview mirror is necessary, but it is much smaller than the windshield because most of our attention must remain focused on the road ahead. No matter how many decades appear to have been wasted, we still have today. This is the day to transform regret into resolve and begin moving forward—one meaningful change at a time. _____________ This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by Peter & Becky Botvin This Episode is dedicated in Honor of Meira Bas Zehava Recorded at TORCH Centre in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on August 25, 2023, in Houston, Texas.
