“Regret is repentance.”
It was narrated that Ibn Ma’qil said:
“I entered with my father upon ‘Abdullah, and I heard him say: ‘The messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “Regret is repentance.” My father said: ‘Did you hear the Prophet (ﷺ) say: “Regret is repentance?” He said: ‘Yes.’”
Sunan Ibn Majah 4252

Someone asked Hasan al-Basri (رحمه الله)
"What is the secret of your religiousness?"
He replied: "I understood 4 things:
I understood that my Rizq cannot be taken by anyone, so my heart became content.
I understood that no one can do my actions (worship) for me, so I started doing them myself.
I understood that Allah is watching me, so I became ashamed to do wrong.
I understood that death is waiting for me, so I started to prepare for my meeting with Allah."
May Allah grant us understanding. آمين

Ya Allah, don't let my eyes crave for something that isn't meant for me. Don't let my heart ache for the history that has passed by. Don't allow my mind to worry about the things over which I have no control, and don't let my sadness diminish the joy of happiness from existing within me. Ya Allah, allow me to remain content with all that has happened and all that is going to happen.
