The year 2013 is the year of the mantra, "I regret nothing".
I am a person who likes to obsess. I obsess and rehash and fixate and ruminate and stew. I go over various events in my head and replay them with different endings, wittier comebacks, and better hair. I think about something I said in passing to a complete stranger and wish I had phrased it differently. I analyze every conversation, every unanswered email, every syllable spoken during a meeting and wonder if it was something I said. I weigh every decision in three different ways before making a pro/con list and then flipping a coin. And after the decision is made, I continue to wonder if I did the right thing.
But not anymore.
Because in 2013, I regret nothing.
I will attempt to absolutely make decisions with confidence and faith. Full stop. I will speak thoughtfully and with purpose, and when I make an ass out of myself, I will laugh about it and move on. And, ideally, this new mindset will ultimately contribute to better choices, less waffling, and firm commitment because (let's all say it together now) I regret nothing.
Who's with me? Should we all embrace this laissez-faire attitude and live the life of no regrets?
Whether you're with me or not, and whether I'm your life coach, your friend, your distant cousin, your workmate, or just someone you once had a couple of drinks with, here's a little advice for you, free of charge:
Live big and love big this holiday season. Enjoy your life and your family and your friends. Do what makes you happy. Regret nothing. But, if you do, remember this....
There's nothing you can do today that a little resolution tomorrow can't fix.
