Don't Miss Out

Don't Regret

By Ruth Elizabeth StiffPublished 2 years ago 1 min read
Congratulations Sir

"In the end,

we only regret the chances

we didn't take"

"Oh I wish I'd done that,

I wish I'd had the opportunity too!"

How many times

have we said this

in our lives?

Either through circumstances

or what other people expect of us,

we do miss out on opportunities

which come our way,

sometimes,

every single day.

I ask the question:

"What do I want,

what do you want?"

Instead of 'bowing' to pressure from others,

do something that YOU want to do,

and,

today,

most things are possible.

Did you want to study?

Do It!

Did you want to become a vet?

A lawyer?

A doctor?

Do It!

Did you just want to improve your education

(because when you were younger you didn't have the opportunity)?

Do It!

Education today allows most people,

of most ages,

to study most subjects

and at reasonable prices

(sometimes even free)!

Of course,

this can apply to anything in Life

but Education

is a good start.

What do YOU Want to do?

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!
