I am sure you have heard the saying “The only things you
should regret are the things you didn’t do”, Well, I really relate to this. I
have made it my mission to never regret anything that I have done because life
is all about learning from your experience and you cannot learn, you cannot
grow, you cannot change if you never put yourself out there and try.
Sure I have made some mistakes, at times big ones but had I
not made those mistakes I couldn’t have learned from them and had I not made
them I wouldn’t know better now. It is a state of mind, a way of thinking but
for me it works and I can look back and say oh wow did I really do that, yes I
did but look at what I learnt from it so I can look back and be grateful for
those mistakes.
On the flip side I keep in mind this thought… if I don’t do
it, if I don’t try am I going to regret not doing it, and the chances are I
will so I try to let that motivate me and push on rather than letting the fear
of doing something hold me back, and to be honest when I was younger I held myself
back a lot.
I was worried what
people would think of me, I was concerned what they may say but living a life
full of concern and worry for others only made me miserable. I wasn’t living my
life for me and let’s get real It's not like I got any thanks from the rest of
the world for being “a good girl” so I decided, I made a conscious choice to do
what was right for me and made me happy and I’m so glad that I did.
It was the start of becoming my real self. I know what makes
me happy or miserable and I choose not to be miserable. Sometimes you have to
take a leap of faith in yourself and to hell with the rest of the world. Never
regret doing something that makes you happy, deal with the consequences
tomorrow because chances are they are never as bad as you expect them to be.
You only get one life so LIVE IT.
