Live life without regrets
...that's really what it's all about, isn't it! Too many live their life following other's expectations, and in the end, miss out on their wants and needs. I'm glad you haven't don that, and you still have a 'bucket list' to complete!
Your #5 struck me; there's a big story there I'm sure, but what I'm hearing is that you learned from your "failure" and that is another great way to live! I too owned a restaurant and loved to cook, but when Brian was diagnosed with cancer, the doctor suggested that we remove stress from our lives. It's easy to guess what had to be the first thing to go.
l enjoyed this post; it got me thinking of a few other things, namely scuba diving, that I've always considered doing, but just never seemed to have gotten around to it.
It was a big thing when it happened to me and I shun away some friends who I thought might rub it in my face that I failed. Eventually I stopped being paranoid and let them back in my life.
Interesting I might write that in the promo-mentors challenge about failures.
It's interesting how our shame translates on the outside of us and in our actions. Your story is something I'd love to read.
What's 'promo-mentors' challenge?
Ohhh its a writing competition that Futurethinker does every once and awhile and is pretty interesting.
