I had a similar missed opportunity. Reality is, no one owns it but me. I made the choices. I own the decisions. When I could have stood in my own self and owned taking up space in the world, I shrank. I let myself be shrunk. I listened to the critics and the insecure and the desperate. I let them influence me, convince me and I acted. I acted by doing nothing at all and letting a lot of people and opportunities and relationships pass me by.
I agree with you. There’s no rewind button on life, and regret doesn’t move us forward.
True! Me too, I have a lot left to contribute and create. Even with the things I messed up and missed in the middle and the people I regretfully left behind.
Yes, delaying decisions so long the opportunity is completely missed. Now, I never allowed anyone to put me off and I learn if the opportunities come i will get it right away.
