If you knew you were going to die by the end of this year, what would you change? What would you create? Who would you talk to again? What amends would you work harder to make? So many people live with regrets in their lives. So many people regret not going for it, not pushing themselves to be better, not doing what they always wanted to do but always put off for some reason.
I believe personally that you have to keep the idea of possible regret in your mind if you want to live without regrets this year. So many people are going to tell themselves what they want to do or who they want to be but they will stop themselves short because they will tell themselves that they have plenty of time. Now, I don't mean to be super dark right here or anything, but you definitely might not have time. Nothing is guaranteed to us in this life. We are not even guaranteed tomorrow, so if there is something out there that you have been putting off it is so important for you to take into consideration that you really might not have time to put it off anymore. Start living your life without regrets. Stop telling yourself you have time, because you can't put more time up on the clock. There is only so much time that we get on this earth so it is incredibly important that we do not waste that time.
Think about how much time you spend staring at your phone and scrolling through instagram or scrolling through facebook. Think about how much time you spend watching things that you don't even like. What if you stopped doing that? What if you stopped doing mindless things and you took that time to pursue whatever you have been putting off because you told yourself you had all of the time in the world? Think of how much you could get done.
Don't let this be another year of settling for less. Don't let this be another year of pushing things off. Don't let this be another year of regrets. When you look back on your life don't you want to see all that you did, and not all that you were too scared to do? Let me ask you this: What is going to make this year different? What is going to make you live your life without regrets? How are you going to pursue what is important to you in your life this year?
Maybe you want to start giving as much as you can to the world. Maybe you want to be a better person to your family and be someone they can rely on when they are going through hard times. Maybe you want to get a certain job, or get a certain degree, or finally write that book. Well, whatever it is, it is time to stop putting it off. Start working towards your goal today. And stop telling yourself you have time. Live without regrets.
It all starts with you.
