I made up my mind about 4 years ago, in what will probably be marked as my darkest days, that I would allow no room for regret in my life.
Regret as we now refer to it, as I believe you are in your question, is to wish we did things differently - to wish we could take something back, start over and have another go at it.
Another chance.
For me, to hold onto that - to wish for it differently - is to do myself a disservice. I approach every thing life brings me and the chances I take throughout, failures and all, with the mentality that no matter what the outcome it happened for a reason.
In the depths of despair I always tell myself that I will learn from this experience, no matter how difficult the learning, no matter how long it takes to learn - that I will, in fact, be a much better person for having gone through it.
Not taking the easy way out - wishing I had done it better or differently - but gaining monumental wisdom and receiving it as a part of me. Not rejecting it because it hurts.
As long as you are allowing yourself to fully learn from "mistakes" they can turn into the brightest points of your life. Because of the survival, the making it.
That's achievement.
As coal to a diamond, allow yourself to be pressed beyond the breaking point. Live to the fullest - with everything you've got. It'll be worth it in the end. -
I've never taken a proper test. I suppose I could find an online one and take it. But are those even accurate?

I was afraid you'd ask.
I'm having a hard time thinking of anything that I'm afraid of. I mean, jumped out of a perfectly good airplane once; woe is me.
[That was sarcasm.]
Oh I know - stepping on an opossum. I almost did once at my old place, the Hollow, one was camping out at my door and I ran out abruptly in the dark and he looked up at me and scampered off. That freaked me out. -
Ack, this question. Well, if I had to choose to be someone else I suppose it'd be nice to be Johnny Depp at the end of the day. Success, rum, a private island, a place in France and no one bothers him.
But honestly I've spent so much time on working on myself I'd probably want to get back into my own skin soon to keep working at my own story.
A little Johnny Depp type cash wouldn't hurt though. -
I believe there is a spirit world. So, yes.
Stories too lengthy to write what these eyes have seen. -
In the US? I'm pretty content with Nashville as my new hometown. I'd like to visit a few places for an extended amount of time - like say Manhattan for 3 months, San Francisco, Portland somewhere on the upper east coast... etc.
Outside of the US? I daydream often of what it would be like to live near a quaint village in the South of France. Experiencing the culture and fantastic vineyards. -
A hearty portion of steak on a ranch with John Wayne.
Where I would say, "Wow, this steak tastes great."
To which he would reply, "You'd better believe it." -
You can thank Timberlake for allowing it by bringing it back.

A Dharma initiative food supply drop.

There are two types of smarts. Book smarts and Street smarts.
I can't really put my finger on anyone I'd place as the "smartest" that I know. I have a collective of friends who each carry their fair share of smarts in their own rights and interests.
