No Regrets!!!!!!

It's taken some time but I have learned often the hard way that hindsight is 20/20. In which you can see things much clearer after they have passed you by or you've had time to sit back and reflect. Regret is something that comes up far too frequent in life. Regret for having done something, regret for not having done something, regret for this and regret for that. One thing we should never regret in life is Life itself.  Of course there are situations and predicaments that we found ourselves in and looking back we wondered how did I let that happen? I can't believe I was a part of that!  But the reality of it is, that it made you who your are today.  Your life's experience's are unique even if someone went through something similar to what you did, it's still not quite the same.  It belongs to you, now what you choose to do with it is a whole other story.  Regardless, you shouldn't have any regrets about the paths that you have chosen to take.  Regrets hold you back from moving forward and experiencing life the way you desire to.  


I was talking to an old friend the other day and they were going over all of the bad decisions that they had made in life which seemed to have outweighed the good ones.  After talking to them I began to ponder all of the what if's and even though the road that they traveled wanted to count them out of life's race.  Regret is the brick wall that would allow them to go no more.  So even if we are able to answer the what if's in life, we still  can't go back and change anything about it.  The only thing we can do is thank God for a clear mind and a chance to move on.


On the other hand you shouldn't set your self up for a future possible regret, sounds crazy hunh!  Well, what I am trying to say is that regret goes both ways and you should have neither!  You should never hold yourself back from doing something, taking a risk and stepping out and experiencing life and living your passion.  Maybe you've wanted to dance with the prestigious dancers of the Alvin Ailey group, or open your own dance studio for that matter, there is no time like the present!.  Okay, so traveling across the world engaging is different cultures has a been a dream of yours, what's stopping you?.  Remember when you used to hook all of your girls hair up and the compliments would come flooding in and you said I'm going to open my own salon, where did you say it was located again; cause I need a hook up?  Oh, wait I know last week when the boss and your co-workers almost got the best of you and all you could think about was getting your business up and running, why are you still sitting behind that desk?  Don't let the dreams and desires you have for life turn into regrets of the future, go after them, reach them and embrace them!  Live life with no REGRETS!
