Life Is Too Short For Regrets

"Live your life so that your epitaph can read, No Regrets."

From the moment we first open our eyes to when we take our last breath, we are given one life. One life to make as much of a difference in this world as we possibly can. One life to impact as many lives as we can. There are no do-overs. No matter how much we wish we could, we just can't. We just have to make the most out of every situation we are given. Life is too short for regrets. We regret more of the things that we don't do more than the things we do.

So say what you need to say. Do what you need to do. It's okay to skip the gym and eat that chocolate cupcake. The gym will still be there tomorrow. Tell the person who means the world to you, how much you love them because you don't always get a second chance. Never waste an opportunity to tell someone you love them and how much they mean to you. We never know when the Lord is going to call us home. Don't go to bed angry over something that won't matter that much in a week. It's not worth the stress and the pain that you're putting on yourself. Don't burn bridges with people because you never realize how many times that you will have to cross over the same river.

You're not hurting the other person, you are just hurting you. We are all humans. We make mistakes. That is just a part of life. We live and we learn. Every mistake we make changes us. It shapes us into the person that the Lord needs us to be at that very moment. We never know how He is going to use us. There may be a person who is going through the exact same situation that you were and they need your guidance. You have a choice, either spend every day regretting the day before or move forward and make the best out of it.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
