Regret

Cadbury or pringles? 

Get married or stay single?

Have kids or walk alone on shingles? 

Give all at this job or pine over the one that wasn’t taken?

Focus on this career or regret over the one that wasn’t chosen?

Do best at Stanford or crib over not going to Princeton?

Regrets are a waste of time, they are mindless.

The choice we didn’t take

We are presuming it would have been better. 

Maybe it would have been worse. 

Rather than stressing over making the right decision, make the decision right.

Life’s purpose

The purpose of life 

is not to be happy 

but to have 

a purpose, 

to make a difference 

to add value, 

to be useful,

 to be productive, 

to matter

and all of those 

things might not 

give us 

happiness per se 

but definitely the 

satisfaction

to have lived at all.

And that satisfaction I am seeking.
