This weekend I learned that I lost a high school friend to a terrible car accident. It started me on a road of reflection, reflecting on the one’s I love and the things I have done in this life.
In today’s blog I want to challenge you to examine your life, look over your life and ask yourself, if I died today, would there be any regrets. Is there something you told yourself you wanted to do, but haven’t done it yet? A project you were supposed to start.
Maybe there is an apology you were supposed to give. Whatever it may be, let’s take the time to ensure we neither live nor die with regrets. Maybe someone owes you an apology, make it easy for them, call them, and let them know you forgive them.
See we are all just walking this life hopefully trying to do our best. And what I have learned we many times have misguided expectations of people. What do I mean? For the longest time I was bitter against my mom, I thought she could have been I better mom to me when I was growing up.
Years later when I became a parent, I experienced the weight of parenting. It is fun, it is scary, and it is a journey. I never took a class on being a father; I was just doing the best I could.
I realized at the age of twenty-one, my mother with two small children was doing her best. I expected at the time so much more from her, but my expectations were not fair. So one day I called my mother to thank her for doing her best, and we began a new journey.
Life within itself has enough hurdles for each of us to climb; we have the power and ability to make each other’s life a lot less stressful. Make the choice today to live without any regrets.
Life at it’s longest is too short…………….
