Whether we want to agree with it or not, life is short. We have little to no actually control on what happens sometimes. With think we have enough time to be able to do whatever, but that's not quite guaranteed. We don’t take the chances we have to be able to express to people how much they really mean to us. There is a variety of things that we “wish” we had done, but always have an excuse for. Right now is our chance to be able to do the things we want to do, and always push off doing.

The thing is sometimes we give the little things too much of our attention. We fear embarrassment or doing something that isn’t “normal” to society. To be honest, so what? So what, you cared a little more than you should. So what, you embarrassed yourself about something people will most likely forget about by tomorrow. If you’re not making mistakes often, you’re not learning, which eventually leads to you not growing as a person.

Be honest. Not to throw a cliche at you, but honesty really is the best policy. Telling the truth helps you to either move or finally get what you want. However, the most important person you need to be honest with is yourself. It is such an important thing to do if you want to be able to be happy living your life. However, don’t be too hard on yourself. Love yourself a little more, forgive yourself more often and know what you deserve and are worth. Don’t belittle yourself or your goals. Know what you’re worth and be proud of who you are, and who you are evolving into. Be proud of how you dealt with the bad days, scars, and how you manage the good days. Believe in yourself it is key. Be comfortable in your own skin, because you don’t get a replacement.

Never settle for average, anything less, anything that doesn’t excite you, or anything that doesn’t bring you joy. While you can’t go back and change the past, you can always choose your future, you can choose which chances to take and which ones to give up. Sometimes all you need is one chance to change your life.
