ARE YOU MISSING OUT?

Sometimes we scroll through our social medias and think about the things others are doing and we feel like we are missing out on a lot of things. We start to feel alone and unhappy because we feel that others are doing so many fun things while we are just lying on our bed scrolling through an endless gallery of photos but while we are missing out on the things they are doing, they are also missing out on the things you get to do. They don’t get to play with their siblings. They don’t get to spend time with their families. Just as you feel like you are missing out on that trip, they also long for meeting their families.
Suppose there is an exam tomorrow and you know that it’s an important one and you have this family function going on in your house. Most of us will study for the important exam and avoid all human interaction to avoid getting distracted and miss out on the fun. While most of us will study for the exam there will always be some of us who will ignore the exam and the tension that comes with it and just enjoy and have fun with friends and family because that is more important to him or her.
The same way you can decide what is more important to you and end this downward spiral of regret in which you keep on regretting the way you spend your time. Think about the things you are missing out on and ask yourself: Are they more important than the things you are doing right now? Will they impact your future in a prosperous manner? If they are important and they give you a better and happy future, then change the way you live. Steve Jobs had a habit every morning he looked at himself in the mirror and asked himself IF TODAY WAS THE LAST DAY OF MY LIFE, WILL I CHANGE THE WAY I AM SPENDING MY DAY? And if the answer was no for some days, he would change something in his routine.
We all need to do this exercise we need to stop regretting and start living. Every day you make a decision make sure you don’t regret it. Make sure it was something you wanted to do, not something others filled you with. This way at the end of the day you will be happy and fulfilled because you did what you wanted to do and the joy of doing what you wanted is everything.
