A wise man said, “I would regret taking an action, than regret not doing the action at all.”
Just do a comparison for the words I should have kissed her vs I shouldn’t have kissed her. Which action wins, inaction or action?
- “I shouldn’t have†returns 2,130,000 results
- “I should have†returns 33,800,000 results
You can always fix a bad mistake through time, but you can never get back inaction.
Another Example: A woman saved up her entire life, penny pinching at every moment to afford a summer home. She had that home taken away after buying it by the Government. So what happened to all those moments she could have enjoyed?
The moments I remember the most where everything didn’t go to plan, than trips where everything went according to plan. When it comes down to it, money shouldn’t always be the issue why we aren’t doing the things we want.
The more you buy, the more you tie yourself down. That expensive car? You create your own money trap, where if you stop working you can’t afford the car. Therefore you have to work or those possessions you bought will be taken away.
Conclusion? When given the chance to do something or not do something, and it is something you wanted to do, just do it, and if things should go astray at least you won’t be regretting inaction and you can always fix whatever mistake you made through time.
