Maybe not mistake but my biggest lesson in life is we should live life to the fullest while still young because while we are getting older, our chance to live it to the fullest becomes slim. I will not say what I chose to live was a mistake, it was just not the practical and witty choice. I did not choose the popular choice. This is the reason I think why I still do not feel I am complete. Doing to live life to full while we are young, we are learning in life, becoming prudent, and earning wisdom and experiences. And by the time we are old, we are happy in whatever field we have taken because we are made and happy. If I pursued what I really wanted when I was young, I think I could have a better, happier and more contented life today.
I was so timid, hesitated, and aloof back in the days. I was always concerned to considering the other people before I make move or decision. Will the people like it, or will they be affected? Will they see my flaws, weaknesses, shortcomings and defects? Will it hit my personality and me as a whole? And so I deprived myself to feel free, and I suffered self-esteem. But as I get older, I have realized I don’t need to always consider the others but love myself first as long as no harming others. I have learned that I am living for myself and not for the others, that I don’t need their validation, to please everybody, and that the more I get older, the less I become uninterested in proving myself. But the sad thing is, it’s now quite late doing it. I should have done it long before.
The older you become, the more likely you cannot do what you want. At my age now, it looks like I cannot go on all the things I used to do and go into bigger and wider lifestyle. In attempt now to make my life full and big, I want to catch up the lost chances but the time limits my capacity. I want to enjoy what life can offer like watching concerts, joining rallies, experiencing competitions, and building great bonding with friends and family but the times and resources are practically running out. I still want to visit at least ten more destinations on my bucket list because I still cannot get enough but the times tell me to slow down. I travelled to places during late part of my life because back in younger days I chose to set it aside and instead prioritized to get rich, which apparently did not come true because of circumstances. I still want to work to earn more but my time now is near to retirement and my adrenalin is exhausting, falling, disappearing. I still want to acquire assets but how can I bravely pay them if having a decent job is no longer on my side? There is no more time, there is no more chance.
But on the other hand when I look back, how can I live the life to the full if I was unequipped then. Maybe what it meant to live it to the fullest is to be courageous which I was not. In life you have to be brave – in the sense of confidence to make the move to change your life. Be brave to loan if it is good credit. Be brave to meet strange people and be friend. Be brave to speak with veteran and erudite people to gain knowledge. Be brave to fall in love again and again. Be brave to take the risk of leading a group of people. Be brave to commit mistakes to learn the lessons. Be brave to do what makes you happy, complete, and productive – in a fair way. Life is short and quick to never leave till tomorrow what you can do today so follow your heart and enjoy life to the fullest. Do it now, because time will come you will feel uninterested in doing these things that you are keen of doing today, or no matter how much you want it but you have no more time and no longer have the strength to do it. And no matter what we do, we cannot really go back to the past and redo, correct and restart our life. There is no rewind, there is no take-two.
Time is always our enemy. The older we get, the lesser times we can do what we want to do. We get tired while taking our life’s journey until we get old. By the time we are old, we’re unable to complete what we have missed to do when we’re young. Be brave to live life to the fullest responsibly.
