No Regrets, Just Opportunities

If we were given the ability to turn back the clock, many would do it. Undo the mistakes, make things better, many more in the list as long as at the end of the day we will feel better about ourselves and how things turn out. "If only I were to....." But if we do turn back the clock, will we do better? Turning as far back as the previous hour, yesterday, last year, last decade? Truth is, it will never end. Do u really want to go through the same event for the 2nd time? I surely won't. Maybe u want to focus more on yr studies coz u have been playing truant and not appreciating the need to excel in your studies then and right now u are regretting it for that meager income u get every month. If i were to study more, i should be able to land myself a lucrative job with lucrative pay, etc... Regrets? Obviously. If i were to manage my life better, i would not end in this @#%* hole! But the reality is, no one can turn back the clock. Face it as it comes and hopefully u come out from it in one piece, everything intact including your mind and your soul.

Sometimes we wonder, when will it ever end? Keep on wondering people, coz we dont know. Only God knows what He has for us. It is up to us to see the better side of things, not to overwhelm our lives with obvious regrets and crying over many misfortunes at hand. Every clouds has its silver lining, they say. Some can see it, many dont.

Maybe it is time for us to change all those regrets into opportunities. Learn new things, new skills, new life! Opportunity to be better.
