"If we have goals and dreams and we want to do our best, and if we love people and we donâ€™t want to hurt them or lose them, we should feel pain when things go wrong. The point isnâ€™t to live without any regrets, the point is to not hate ourselves for having themâ€¦ We need to learn to love the flawed, imperfect things that we create, and to forgive ourselves for creating them. Regret doesnâ€™t remind us that we did badly â€” it reminds us that we know we can do better."
