Everything…

happens for a reason. It’s old news, if you read this blog more often.

I don’t know if it is a slogan to persevere or if it is really real – for me and the way I think, I certainly makes a lot of sense.

Just like people come into our world when we need them (not want them) and that we learn lessons and don’t have to regret anything – if we have the right mindset.

You see – and over the years I said this a couple of times: I don’t believe in regrets. Regrets make us miserable. Maybe I am not always making the right choice or thinking the right thoughts, but I regret nothing. There is a reason for every choice, there is a moment for every decision. And if it turns out to be the wrong choice or wrong decision later, then we should be confident enough to acknowledge that out choice was wrong. But don’t regret. We learnt a lesson and saw thinks (took roads) we would not have taken otherwise.

I live by this. And have done so for most of my adult life. Truth be told – it started when I was (unplanned) pregnant with my first kid. I have no regrets having this child and his presence in my life opened many other ways and paths for me. And I am grateful for that. Having had Ollie at an age where nothing was settled in my life (no future was planned at all – even less with a child) made me appreciate the now. Of course, I have wished and dreams, but never regrets. Everything on life becomes a lesson to learn from if we refrain from focussing on the negative. (Yeah – easy to say for me… There are moments when the only choice is between bad and worse)
