Missed Opportunities
August 3, 2011
Living life without regrets is not possible. But we can learn from our actions…or, sometimes, inactions.
Overwhelmed by fear or a sense of obligation not of our own making, we will hesitate. This happens often in business, when we are offered the chance to take on a project, start a business, or take our work in a different direction. It entails risk, as everything new always does, and too often we pause and then pass.
And sexually it does as well. We may be horny as hell, or bored with the current routine, but when our spouse (who’s also horny and/or bored) suggests something we hesitate, we pause, and we pass. Later we get angry at ourselves, and all too often this anger morphs and is directed at someone else (our spouse, our parents, our church, etc).
But really it’s us. We made the decision. We passed on the opportunity. Sure, we can be angry…at ourselves. But anger is useless. Realize what you did, and change your mindset so the next time you seize the chance. Life will be better, you will be happier. As long as your decisions are compliant with your (not someone else’s) ethics and morals, you will live as you’ve always dreamed.
