Do you have any life regrets? You settle for less because of bad decisions you made, missed opportunities, and your shyness and cowardice in taking on bigger responsibilities. Do you have any regrets about any of them?

For many years, whenever people asked me, “What’s your biggest regret in life?” I quickly replied, “I don’t have any regrets in life,” but as time passes, I see people rise from obscurity to success. I’m left wondering, “What did they do to become the person they are today?”

So, for the time being, I reflect on everything that has happened to me in the past. I understand that we all have different perspectives, and some may not understand what I’m going through because they may argue that why regret if it was the right thing or decision to make at the time? But, again, disclaimer, for me, I also said that everything that happened in the past was predestined to happen because it made me who I am today. But, as I reflected on myself now, I began to form regrets in my mind.

I don’t like the feeling; it’s stressful and painful, and it also pulls me to step forward. I don’t want other people to go through what I’m going through right now. Thus, I want to tell you guys…

Experiment with stepping outside of your comfort zone as soon as possible. Because staying in your comfort zone will not help you at all. If you want to do something, JUST DO IT! Don’t overthink it too much. As long as it makes you happy, that is all that matters. Carry it out! Embrace your passion. Make it stronger. Because it will lead you to something greater, something more beautiful. I’m not saying there aren’t any other options; chances will always exist as long as we live. Chances to choose happiness, chances to love yourself, chances to rebuild yourself. At the end of the day, the decision is always yours. So, take a step forward. It’s okay if you’re still unsure about what you like. But keep in mind that you deserve great things, so don’t settle for less.

Finally, don’t do it for the sake of others. Do it for yourself as well as for God. Whatever you do, do it for the glory of God. Because everything you have now is the result of His efforts. You’ll have the opportunity to inspire and motivate others, but remember that you’re doing what you love doing for yourself and for God. I’m rooting for you!!! Fighting!!!
