One Regret I Carry

One regret I find myself carrying is not taking advantage of the opportunities I had earlier in life to build myself financially. There was a time when I had fewer responsiblities in my life, instead of me taking advantage of that period, no, I was deeply focused on my personal challenge at that time that I completely forgot that I have a life after that phase.

Looking back now, I realised that the challenge that I was facing then, that's to have a child of my own was important to me then, but I allowed it to consumed all my time, energy and attention, making me to missed chances to explore business ideas, invest in opportunities around me, and grow financially.

I will say that I'm not that business inclined of a person. I will tell you why. Then the environment I was in did not seem fully developed, so business opportunities were there, clear and within my reach. So if I were business inclined, I would have grabbed those opportunities then and make something good out of it. Instead of me allowing the weight of my situation then and the pressure from my in-laws to prevent me from thinking beyond my immediate struggle.

Now, when I look back and see others who took those same opportunities and how their businesses has grown and expanded, 😥😥😥 it stirs pain and regret in my heart. It makes me wonder how my life would have been financially if I had made different choices.

The truth is that, no matter how much I revisit the past in my mind, I can not change it. Yes, regret is natural, but I'm learning not to be imprisoned by my past. I have forgiven my self for not knowing and i have choosen not to be bitter or hard on myself when ever I look at others.

I have been willing to rebuild myself and to grow financially. I avail myself to exploring new opportunities around me, learning new skills and not allowing fear, doubt or even obstacles to hold me back again.
