A General Note/Thought and A Little Bit of Advice & Encouragement

One thing that life has taught me - everything is a new learning experience; there is no right or wrong way to do something.

You think you would know what to do in life, where to go, how to do things but life itself is the main learning experience. Like everyone, I have set goals – a life plan; but what if it changes, I don’t get the job I want or I move abroad (which is the case for me), what then, does the plan you have completely change or just needs to be adjusted slightly?

There will always things that will come and hinder or set you back.

Every person has goals whether they are small or big it is just unfortunate that we end up having to change/adjust or even adapt our plan to whatever the situation becomes. It is even more unfortunate that life does not run the way we want it to which sucks most of the time.

Another realisation that occurred to me, and most definitely to many other people, is that you can never please everyone in this whole world; your family, family friends nor your friends or people that you don’t even know. You make a choice to please yourself but end up displeasing someone around you, even if it the correct decision someone is displeased but if and when you do realise it’s the incorrect decision, it’s too late and in the process of making amends you can make it worse, setting you even further back in life.

The key is to learn from the mistakes. At least I took a chance and wouldn’t change that as I rather not regret it later in life.

One piece of advice I would give to everyone is to never give up hope on something you want, keep trying to attain that step/goal/dream in life because it is achievable once you set your mind to it and to ignore what others may say at it will only hinder you, upset you and make you lose your focus.

This whole life is a learning experience so we are bound to make mistakes - we are only human after all! It is human nature to make these mistakes.

I believe that as long as we learn from each experience then there will be no regrets of taking the decisions we took and in the process build your character and personality, making you a wiser human being as ‘A man should never be ashamed to own that he has been in the wrong, which is but saying... that he is wiser today than yesterday’ (Jonathan Swift).

A few insightful quotes to keep in mind and to summarize this little blog:

‘You’re born, you die, and in between you make a lot of mistakes.’

‘Never regret something that once made you smile.’

‘Yes, the past can hurt but the way I see it you can either run from it or learn from it.’

‘Life is all about risks and it requires you to jump. Don’t be the person who has to look back and wonder what they would have or could have had. No one waits forever.’

‘If I could go back in time and fix all the mistakes I made, I wouldn’t because it has made me who I am today.’

‘Shake off the ‘why’s’ and the ‘what if’s’ and rid yourself of confusion. Whatever was – is in the past. Whatever is? That’s what’s important. The past is a brief reflection, and the future is yet to be realized.’

‘Disobedience, in the eyes of anyone who has read history, is man’s original virtue. It is through disobedience that progress has been made, through disobedience and through rebellion’- Oscar Wilde
