~Im really going deep in my head and sharing with yall tonight! ...As I look back over the last ten years of my life, there are so many things that I regret. Like wearing a mask to impress others. But Ive grown to learn that if the face we always show the world is a mask, someday there will be nothing beneath it. Because when we spend too much time concentrating on everyone else’s perception of us, or who everyone else wants us to be. We can eventually forget who we really are. Now, I don’t fear the judgments of others! I know in my heart who I am and what’s true to me. Trust me, we don’t have to be perfect to impress and inspire people. We can let them be impressed and inspired by how we deal with our imperfections! Another thing I regret... Micromanaging! I was the worlds worst! Now, I think that life should be touched, not strangled! Sometimes weve got to just relax and let life happen without constant worry, and micromanagement. We need to let go a little before we squeeze too tight. Take a deep breath! And when the dust settles and you can once again, see the forest for the trees, take a step forward. I don’t think we have to know exactly where we’re going to be headed somewhere great! Everything in life is in perfect order whether we understand it or not. I also regret settling for less than I deserve. I know now that Im strong enough to let go, and wise enough to wait for what I deserve! I think sometimes we have to get knocked down lower than we have ever been, to stand up taller than we ever were before! And sometimes our eyes need to be washed by tears so we can see the possibilities in front of us with a clearer vision again. Don’t settle! I also regret my endlessly waiting until tomorrow. The trouble with that is... We always think we have more time than we do. But one day we will wake up and there won’t be any more time to work on the things we’ve always wanted to do. And at that point, we either will have achieved the goals we set for ourselves, or we will have a list of excuses for why we haven’t! And the last regret Ill share with yall, that I still find myself doing is... Wishing time away! On days that Im depressed, I find myself wishing time would fly. By days, weeks, months, and yes, even years. I know this is something I shouldnt do. It will steal your joy! Your joy of the present. I have to say that Ive learned greatly from this. If we are always living in the past, or always living in the future, we will not be happy in the present! Speaking from experience, Your life will pass you by as you know it. You will miss everything you was to learn! Be content in where you are in your life. Be happy. Make memories. Laugh often. Love hard.... And just enjoy it!~
