For example, you may slap a close relative or friend out of anger due to some disagreement and the friendship may get permanently ruined. While you may have felt it was right then, as you grow older that incident may start haunting you. Similarly, there could be other mistakes you have done related to your career, friendship, money matters, investments, lost opportunities, etc. All these may come back to haunt you years later causing deep stress and regret.
While you may have to live with certain regrets for life many others can be reduced if you start making amends and corrections if it is not too late.

For example, the next time you erupt in anger try to remember what damages that anger did to you in the past. This can prevent you from making the same mistake again.
