Regret- One of the greatest regrets in life is being what others would want you to be, rather than being yourself.
I am the type of person who used to always dwell on every single bad thing happened in my life. I dwelled on a person for not lending me the shoulder to lean upon during my hard days, I dwelled on people bad mouthing about me, I dwelled on people body shaming me, I dwelled on my sleeplessness, I dwelled on every damn thing about me, my life. Always looked for someone else validation in life.
Opinions don’t define you.
I was so indulged in proving myself to be the best of the different roles(Wife, Daughter, mother…) that I play. But over the period of time life sunk in looking for validations from others (Which never received). But after becoming a mother- It gave a different sense of power to realize that no matter what you do people never appreciate nor they realize your worth.
Steve Maraboli said “We all make mistakes, have struggles, and even regret things in our past. But you are not your mistakes, you are not your struggles, and you are here NOW with the power to shape your day and your future.”
As the saying goes, The past cannot be undone but you can work on the present and the future you want.
Now as I’m getting older, I’m trying to be more mindful of how I spend my time and ensuring that years from now, when I look back on my life, it’s not overflowing with regrets. I don’t want to live that way. I don’t want to feel like I’m wasting my life. The only thing you can do is “DO YOUR BEST and don’t look for validation from others.
Standing up for yourself and what you deserve.
Don’t take people’s shit. Stand up for yourself. Stand up for what you deserve in your relationships, in your work life, private life, etc. Put on your adult pants and speak your mind. Ask for the raise you know you deserve. Worst-case scenario is they say no. Best-case scenario you get what you deserve.
Your marriage? Things haven’t been good between the two of you lately. You want to fix it, but you don’t know how? Say something. Stand up for the both of you. You won’t ever regret fighting for yourself and for what you want, but you will regret swallowing your pain your hurt and staying quiet.
Evenings are the perfect and cozy time to set aside the day’s work, stress, anxieties and live in another world through the words of someone else.
At the end of the day, you’re the one who decides how you will spend your time and what kind of life you want to create. Choose wisely.
It’s better to be mindful of your actions now and change them now, rather than end up wishing you had done things differently years from today
