Life without regrets... Is it really possible? I envy those who live life without regrets. There's regrets of action and inactions. How is it possible to forget them all?
Regret the things I have done? Not really. These don't leave a large impact for me to remember. At least not larger than inactions. They haunt me. Time to time. If I have been bold enough... If I had been brave enough... Would all these have changed? If I had taken that 1 step forward, just 1 leap forward, could it have been better? Would the good things still turn out good?
True. I've taken a leap forward in many things. 1 leap in and everything falls so nicely in place. It's like a domino. Except it's erected and not falling. 1 jump start and everything follows along. Just like a chain reaction. Will it be true for other areas too?
Sometime I wonder... I know I regret not taking action... Regret postponing it... Given the chance to go back and change the past, would I do the same? Would I see my desired outcome? What would happen? Anything and everything?
There's no need to go back to the past to change it. Neither is there a need to. The window is still open. Dare I take the step that I have postponed for so long? Can I bear the consequences that it succeed? What if it falls through? Would I be crippled and end there?
Maybe I won't go for that jump. At least not now. Maybe later. When? I have no idea. I don't dare to face the consequences if it fails. Just more courage, maybe it would be good.
I'll leave it there for now. Picking it up later? I'll see. Now I have to hold on to what I have and make use of it. Treasure what there is now. Greed never turns out good. But can it really be counted greed? Everything is in a mess. How I wish everything will settle by itself. It's impossible though. Impossible. I shall leave the gap in me and bury myself in work. May one day the opportunity drops in front of me again, instead of having to reach out and grab it, will I just stare at it and walk away? The opportunity is here. It has never left. But it doesn't mean it's going to stay forever. Opportunity nor time waits for anyone.
Should I grab that opportunity and gamble on it? It's a huge stake. It's double or nothing. The sign seems positive in the past. Is it still valid now?
Given the same situation, what will you do?
