4 Things We Will Never Regret Doing

In every step we take, there’s always a decision behind it.

Decision making plays a vital role in our life. We will never have the chance to embrace changes if we will not be making a choice. Even though the outcomes of our decisions are vague and sometimes unpredictable, we still hold unto our choices.

However, some people are haunted with regrets when they did something wrong in the past. They thought their decisions were good yet it still leads to adverse outcomes. This is inevitable since in the first place, we don’t have the ability to exactly predict something in the future, just a wild guess maybe.

On the other hand, there are things that we can do for now that will leave us with no regrets someday. These are:

SELF-LOVE

They said that at the end of the day, you only have yourself. There’s no guarantee that the people by our side now will stay forever with us. In the first place, nothing is permanent in this world so practicing self-love and being happy on our own without depending too much on other people will leave us with no regrets in the future.

We will be free from disappointments and emptiness even if we’ll be left alone. Maybe, there’s some sort of sad feeling, but it won’t be that too heartbreaking because we love ourselves fully, and we’re already prepared for being alone.

FOLLOWING OUR HEART

Doing what we love will make us happy, not just a short-term happiness, but a long lasting one.

However, it’s not always easy to do. There’s some of us who really wanted to pursue the path towards what they love, but unfortunately, they can’t. Some are hindered by other people, financial problems, their own ability, and doubts.

Maybe, it is not yet the perfect time for them to do so as there are many obstacles they need to overcome first. But, always remember that we still have the chance to follow our heart’s dream as long as we’re still living. If we really want something, there’s a way for it to be pursued. If we did so, we’ll have no regrets at all.

PRIORITIZING CAREER

Some people believe that degree isn’t everything, but career does. Yes, having a degree will give us an edge in life, a title that we will carry on throughout our life. However, a career isn’t something that we’ll just carry. It’s something that will highlight our skills and passion in life. There are some people who have a degree, yet it’s not guaranteed that what they learned in school will be applied in real life. But, if we prioritize our career, whether we are a degree holder or not, we can build a foundation towards being the best version of ourselves, and that’s something more commendable than just being intelligent without actions.

In that case, giving priority to career rather than degree will make us do a lot of things that will leave us with no regrets in the future since we did our best.

LEAVING RELATIONSHIP

This is not just all about romantic relationships, but also applicable in any kind. It’s better to leave a relationship that is not healthy anymore, something toxic that slowly kills us as we hold unto it. Although there's no perfect relationship, we still have to make sure that we’re holding onto something worth fighting for, not just a stressful one.

They said that a relationship where our words and views don’t matter is similar to being chained or jailed. When a relationship makes our self-esteem go down, and respect is not evident, better keep ourselves free from it. We all deserve a relationship that brings the best in us, not the worst ones. There’s something more we totally deserve, and we will not have it if we still hold unto the previous toxic relationship.

Leaving such relationships will bring us more peace even if we resort to living alone. At least, even if we’re lonely, we will have no regrets in the future as we still have ourselves.

CLOSING THOUGHTS

Making decisions is tough yet satisfying when we get the best results, or may not be the best but leave us no regrets. We have to be mindful of our decision. We have to consider what’s good and right, not just those things that will just give a temporary excitement.

Even if the future is ambiguous to predict, we should still think critically about our decisions in the present.

Sometimes, we have to make decisions, not just for our present, but for a better life ahead.
