People tend to regret the things they didn’t say or do at a certain moment in their lives. After that you will just think of what you should have done at the moment and sometimes you wish did something instead of what you actually did. You shouldn’t be full of regret. Sure, you’ll have little regrets like wishing you asked that question or maybe you should have worn something else instead of what you are actually wearing. Then there are the big regrets. It’s sad to live with regrets and not doing the things you probably should’ve done or the things you wish did. Sometimes you’ll even dream of something for so long and then when it’s time to do it you chicken out and you don’t do and then you regret it so much that you think of it every day and wonder if your life would be different if you did it differently. You shouldn’t regret but instead take advantage of the opportunities in your life and open yourself up to more opportunities.
Different people encounter different types of opportunities. Some opportunities are handed to you because of who you are and where you come from and others aren’t available to those same types of opportunities. People have to go looking for their own opportunities. They have to get out there and look and achieve their goals on their own.No matter if your goal is to go to college or to travel, you have to go looking for those opportunities. Sure going to college opens up more doors to different kinds of opportunities but college isn’t for everyone. Just because someone doesn’t go to school doesn’t mean they don’t have dreams or goals it just means that school just isn’t for them. They could still achieve so much but they might just have to work harder for it.
Going to college is an opportunity that millions of people take advantage of and it lets people grow and learn on their own. People who move away from home to go to school have new experiences away from home and by going away to school they have so many opportunities that they might not have by living at home. College lets someone branch out on their own and meet people who are interested in the same things you are and who want to achieve what you want to. Going to school just gives you so much more than just an education.
You have to put yourself out there and go after what you want and achieve what you want to. Sure, putting yourself out there is easier said than done, it but would you rather regret doing nothing at all than doing so much more. Go out looking for opportunities. Look for something you want. It might not be easy, but eventually all of your hard work will pay off. You have to take chances. You don’t have to take advantage of every opportunity that comes your way because you don’t want to over-work yourself. Stop and think before you do anything; just take a breather and make sure what you are doing is what you want to do. Know if you can handle the situations that you might be put in. If you are looking for a job and think that this is the job you want just make sure it really is and you fully understand what the job entails and you want to be doing it. It will be OK if you get rejected; that just means it wasn’t meant to be and you’ll figure it out. Just remember that it’s better to put yourself out there than just sitting back and wondering what would’ve happened if you did something for yourself.
