No room for regrets; keep pushing

I woke up early in the morning to meet my curtains dancing violently to the tune of the blowing wind that was ravaging my area and one thing immediately came to my mind; rain (a crazy one!). My brother quickly closed the windows and no sooner than later, the rain started.

I was very annoyed with the bad timing of the rain because we are supposed to go to church that morning by 6:30am (it's catholic) and the rain started falling a few minutes before 6am. The weather was very good for sleep but I still had to prepare for church just in case it stopped and it actually did.

I was reading Ate Jane's article earlier (you can check it out here) and she mentioned she regretted not starting traveling a few years ago, mostly because she was too hardworking (anyone that knows her will know this is true 😆). But right now she's traveling all over the country and writing about it, that's because she realized what she needed early enough and worked on it.

Her article inspired me to come up with this one after I thought about it and realized that some people are lucky enough to get the chance to work on their regrets before it becomes too late. I know a lot of us regretted not getting into cryptocurrency many years ago, but right now we are no longer taking any chances and have embraced it.

That's because we have seen the effect of cryptocurrency and realized what we have been missing, so we hopped on to the moving train and ride along. Realizing our regrets early enough and taking steps towards rectifying them is one of the greatest feelings in life, it's far better than realizing it on our deathbed which at that point is already too late.

I have heard stories of people getting their university degrees at a very old age. Some were in their 70s while others were in their 80s but they have finally got one of their life dreams before death comes knocking, that way they won't have any regrets that they didn't get their degree, even if they did it at a very old age.

I have seen people who easily gave up on their dreams when it gets too difficult. I understand that there are some circumstances where it becomes too hard to keep moving forward, but a little step here and there is far better than just standing still or even going back.

As long as we are still alive, then there's the hope of achieving our dreams. A person who is truly determined to achieve their goals won't let anything hinder them from doing so. They are ready to walk through a hurricane if it means their dream will be fulfilled, they are prepared to face hell just so they won't have any regrets when they are old.

"I regret not dancing in the rain when I was still a kid", why not do it now? Life is too short to be worried about what people will say, just do what makes you happy so you won't have any regrets. "I regret not learning a skill when I was younger", what's stopping you from trying now?

Many people have willingly taken their life when they are faced with certain tragedies and they feel being dead is better than living. I won't judge them because I don't want to even imagine being in a situation where I will think death is a better option, but some people are fighting hard to keep living and the reason is that they have hope that things will be better and they are willing to fight just to stay alive.

All I am trying to say is that it's ok to have regrets, especially now that we are still alive and healthy to work on them. I know there are some things you can never get back once the opportunity has passed, but why not work on the ones you can instead of just giving up? Whenever you find yourself regretting something you could have done some years back, think about the possibility of doing it now and if it is possible, then just do it.

Thanks for reading 💖💖💖
