Accepting what you cant change
There are goals I wish I would had achieved and places I wish I could have travelled. Thinking back on it, there are things I wish I had done completely differently. But to be honest, there are people that I wish I had never allowed more chances than they should Have been allowed (no regrets but lessons learned).
Sometimes we stop ourselves from our own potential because someone interrupted us; that charming smile or even a simple hello went a long way. Our intriguing desires sometimes get ahead of us and we’re left with the arguments within ourselves questioning ‘why.’ Some opening dialogue have become some great blessings for folks. People have found great friendships and networking opportunities and even love. Some conversations lead to more conversations. But think about it; wonder if some conversations didn’t take place and some encounters didn’t go further than they probably should have?
Everyone you encounter is not one of those sent blessings to help you grow and some of the things we haven’t completed doesn’t mean it’s a punishment for where we might be now. Sometimes we go ahead ourselves with our thoughts, not taking into consideration what it might’ve cost us in the long run. Sometimes I wish I would have walked away from some things and some people before I mentally categorized them and attached existence. But I have come to accept some things, continue to live, learn and pay attention so I don’t make the same mistakes I learned from.
