The Only Moments I Regret After 33 Years of Life
Lessons from a guy who had severely low self-esteem.
When I look back on what I did and didn’t do in life, I don’t regret the deals or investments I missed out on, or the chances I didn’t take.
After all, if I start regretting those things, I’m going to spend my life living in the past and second-guessing everything. Also, those moments made me who I am—they forced me to learn, challenge myself, and create opportunities that I enjoy today.
You can’t know everything. As long as you’re making the most wise, educated, and ethical decisions possible, based on what you know at the moment, that’s all you can do.
But the only thing I truly regret—and I figuratively kick myself over—is one head-slapping mistake I repeated countless times in the past.
My Only Regret
I didn't stand up for myself when I had the chance.
When someone was being rude, mean, or hurtful, I didn’t say anything.
When some business cheated me right in front of me, I didn’t say anything.
When I was the target of racism, I didn’t say anything.
I didn't challenge people when they needed to be challenged.
