Just typing those 2 words made my heart kinda flutter. I hope that's some what normal. It also made my stomach queezy feeling. Am I ok?
I'm sure I'm not alone when I say that maybe my biggest fear is regret. The thing that's really bad about regret is that it's like a revolving door, there is no getting away from it. Opportunities for regret are always opening and closing.
How should we live differently to decrease the amount of regret we have? In my uneducated opinion it seems like that is a task that will be extremely difficult. I'm not being negative or atleast I'm trying not to be, but like I said the door for it is always opening and closing.
Just like our opportunities to do things in our life, you will never ever regret that spur of the moment trip to see your grandparents. You will never regret the countless hours you spend playing with your kids. You will never regret marrying the love of your life. This maybe getting a little out there, but it's hard to believe that what I'm saying isn't true and yes I know there are extreme situations for everything. Trust me when I say I feel like live in a extreme situation. Maybe I'll get into that one day. Today we are talking about regrets. Moving on.
I've said this before in my ⬇️⬇️
Wow! That link was much harder than I wanted it to be, anyway what I was saying is I work a job that demands alot of my time, 60 hours a week or more sometimes. I have this fear that one day this job will be one of my biggest regrets. It's a double edge sword. If I had a regular more of bankers hours type job maybe I would have more time with my family, but at the end of the day my job gives my family opportunities to do things that they otherwise might not be able. I guess that's just the nature of the beast. Feast or fammon that's the way of life.
Opportunity that word keeps popping up doesn't it? My best advice for decreasing your chances of regret, would be to never miss an opportunity. Yes I understand that this a completely unrealistic answer to this problem, but if you make a valiant effort at grasping as many opportunities as possible, I know that you will minimize your regret. You can't even argue with me on that. Well I guess you can if you want. I'll entertain any thoughts on the matter.
In the wise words of Scottie P. From the movie We're the Millers- “No Ragrets”
It's a good motto I must say the older we get the more susceptible we all are to regrets. We all just have to stay tough and do our best and I believe it will all workout.
Sorry for the late post this week has been a wild one so far! Come back next week for some more nonsense!
