“I’d rather regret the things I’ve done, than regret the things I haven’t done” – Lucille Ball
Many of my regrets aren’t things I’ve done, but what I didn’t do. And these are some of my worst regrets, because I know I could’ve done it, but I didn’t.
And I always ask myself, why? Why didn’t I do it? Why didn’t I try out for the school netball team? Why didn’t I kiss the guy I really like?
This “why” always ends up consuming my thoughts, and I eventually feel worse about myself than when I started thinking.
I guess this just shows how much I need to live in the moment, and take each and every opportunity that comes my way. I shouldn’t regret things that I didn’t do, because nothing good comes out of it. Instead of thinking about the ‘why,’ I should instead think about all the good things that happened even otherwise. By changing my mindset just that slight bit, I can see the positive in each situation, instead of regretting things that happened in the past.
