Three words we often put together "I could have" " I should have," but what they really mean is I procrastinated, and didn't. If only.
How many times have you thought, if only. If only I would go to the gym; if only I could make good grades; if only I could have been there, done that, ended up on top. It's what I refer to as the grass is greener syndrome sometimes. If only I could step into the other pasture my life would be so much better.
I'm guilty of this. I've pondered the things in my life I wish I could change, the missed opportunities, the road not taken. I have wallowed in self pity at how I want things to be. I have procrastinated and watched life go by.
Only you can create your own destiny. Only God knows the plan he has for you. Your mission in life is to take hold of every opportunity presented to you. Reach higher, aim farther. If you walk away and think, if only, turn around and run straight into the fear.
Thanks for the I spittoon, friend. If only I could turn my clock back two hours and go to the gym like I'd planned!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the nudge of motivation! I try my hardest not to dwell on the should have, could have, would haves. It's unfortunately how many golden opportunities have been missed out on.
