I can be extremely hard on myself.

This applies to all areas of my life, from relationships to health to business.

Truth be told, I’m probably worse than hard on myself: I’m unfair to myself.

You see, when I was young, this is not where I saw myself being at age 42.

Still trekking to an office several times a week, working for the man.

I always thought I’d be an independent entrepreneur by now, free to spend my time and money any way I wanted.

And I’m still hopeful that I can get there, but frequently I find myself falling back on regret.

Regret at all the time I wasted procrastinating, or starting project after project and letting them die on the table.

Regret about drinking too much, sapping my health, energy, happiness, and productivity.

Regret about always saying “I’ll do it tomorrow.”

Well, tomorrow is here, I have only myself to thank for not being where I should be at age 42.

But as one kind reader reminded me this week, that’s actually OK.

It’s all OK.
