Time and Regrets

Use your time to do things in life nobody will regret. Time is the most limited resource on the planet, use it wisely, embrace it, and don't waste it.

Don't do things that you might regret. Know when your shut your mouth because even though you may think you are trying to fix something, you're just driving a giant wedge through it all. If you think you are going to say something you'll regret, for the love of everything, DON"T SAY IT!!!

Don't act, react, or overreact to things that have already happened. Life has an interesting way of saying we need to ground ourselves. You can't let yourself just dive off the deep end without thinking it through. Choose your words, then choose them again. Say what you want to say but in a way that it's accepted. Take the time to say it right.

Don't get lost in the moment, lost in the heat of it all, lost in reality, or lose sight of what you want and if you don't get it, accept it. Keep yourself level in the times that you think the world is ending. Don't panic and mess things up more than they already are.

Don't let go of the original goal. Everyone needs some kind of goal, make sure it's an obtainable one though. If you reach for the stars and get stuck at the top of a tree, don't beat yourself up over it. Set one goal, reach it, then set another goal and reach it. It's a lot easier to climb a staircase of goals than try to climb up a steep ramp for the one goal. Baby steps, treat every little thing in life as a goal. Take the time building yourself up or you'll slide down that ramp and destroy yourself at the bottom.

Don't think you have have a chance at a redo. That seldom happens so don't go through life thinking if you mess up something you can just start over. It works on somethings, but other things, the important things, make sure you take the time to do it right the first time. Don't beg for redemption if you mess it all up. In the long run that will be a regret that is with you forever.

Don't try to impress anybody but yourself. This is very important on so many levels. Don't try to force an impression on people, take the time to make them impressed by you.

Don't beg someone to like you, don't beg someone to love you and don't beg someone to be with you. This will eat you and that someone alive. Never beg to be loved by anyone but yourself. Never try to force that on anybody. You can't go through life constantly begging for everything and expect to end up happy. This will just cause a lot of regret and even more resentment. Take the time to do it all right and keep your goals in mind.

Basically don't let your heart try to fix things that your brain messed up and don't expect anyone else to do the same. Your heart and your brain need balance just like everything else in life, don't put too much strain on one and expect the other to make up for it.

At the end of the day all this adds up to one message, Take the time to do it right so you have nothing to regret. Think of everything you are going to do, then put yourself in the other person's shoes. Is this the best thing for their life, their goals or their time. If you can t step back and say this is what is the best for both parties, run with it and own it.
