The key to living life without regret
is making choices and decisions
you can live with. - MzVirtue ❤️
I have been asked quite a bit over the years if I had things in my life that I regretted and would like to change if given the opportunity. I tend to put much thought into my answers when asked questions and this one was no different.
Contrary to the beliefs of a "few", there are no perfect men or women on this earth and there are no doubts in my mind that we all have and/or will make mistakes. This is how we learn. This is how we grow.
Because this is how we learn and grow, I would not change a thing. Why? Because I absolutely love the person I am AND love who SHE is #becoming. I am growing and learning daily.
I found out pretty quickly in life that actions have consequences. So, basically, any actions I did or didn't take created results. The pressure from peers and society can sway you but at the end of the day, the choice is truly yours.
Many times people follow the advice of folks who do not have to live with the consequences of their action or inaction. Choose wisely. Taking someone's advice does not give you the right to be upset with them if the result is not favorable!
I could go a lot deeper into this. Maybe at a later date. Bottom line is this: When you make the decision to do or not do something, be sure you are prepared to live with the consequences. That way, if it doesn't work, the person who made the decision is YOU! Own it then move forward!
It all comes back to accountability. You are responsible for your decisions. If you made the choice, why have regrets? Sounds simple, right? It is!
