No Regrets... Just Lessons Learned

The saddest summary of life contains three descriptions: could have, might have, and should have."

We all have something stored in our memory banks of the past that we wish we could have done differently, or something we wish we didn’t do.

As we get older we learn and grow. But that doesn’t mean we have to regret what we did before we learned how to do things differently. 

If we didn’t go through those experiences we might not have grown into the strong and knowledgeable people we are today.

If we live life regretting we will never be happy.

We forget, it's OK to make mistakes. We fall down and get back up. If we never make mistakes we'll never know right from wrong. 

So you screwed up, so what? It’s not the end of the world is it? The Earth will still be in orbit, the sun will still set and rise and you will still wake up every morning with another day to live.  

Find humour in life, stop looking at the world so seriously.

Relax and go with the flow, live life unafraid of change. 

Embrace what you already have instead of thinking about what you don't have. 

Be Bold. Find the courage to change things that should be changed and accept that there are some things that cannot be changed.

Life is too short to be anything but happy!

Relationships.... the latest trend?

Maybe its that I never stopped to notice or because I have jumped on the newly single band wagon, but I cant help but notice the number of couples in this little city of Townsville. With valentines day just around the corner I had an idea that my girlfriends and I would spend a night in celebration of being 'without male' and happy... but to our dismay the party would be quite a small one, it turns out there aren't many single fish in the pond any more. 


I believe sometimes people drift in and out of relationships because they feel the need to "belong" to another, or a need to "be" with someone. Oftentimes, when we choose relationships based on fear of being alone, or because we feel we "need" to be with another, we bounce back and forth between relationships, never realizing what we actually want. Its almost a pressure that we should be on the search for that special someone, especially when you find yourself sitting on your own at a dinner party with all your coupled friends.
 
Sometimes its better to take a moment or maybe to actually spend time alone, figuring out what "our" needs are before we jump into relationships with overblown expectations or another person. Until we feel at ease with ourselves, we cannot feel comfortable with another person.....Not everyone was meant for marriage, and not everyone was meant for a relationship.
