Regrets about major life situations can have negative effects on your current life, particularly when you are making changes and moving in the right direction.
The first negative impact is that you may tend to exhibit inner conflicts depending on what your prior situation was.
Secondly, you may lose focus and feel disconnected, not understanding where God is taking you.
Thirdly, you may forfeit the process of becoming that new “You” that God wants you to become.
I do not know your circumstances, but I urge you to allow God to do His transforming work in you. Be renewed by the spirit of your mind (Ephesians 4:23), discard the old you and your past, and embrace that new person you are about to become (2 Corinthians 5:17).
In Christ,
