So I have a question. Is it worse to have regrets over something you've done or live a life afraid of doing something you'll regret?
What do you think?

Well, I've definitely been on the first end of things, having regrets over something I've done and I don't like that very much. I do think its much worse to live a life afraid of doing something I'll regret... and worse than anything, I NEVER want to be in the category of "those cold and timid souls who neither know victory or defeat"!! I don't mind failure, I mean, sure it hurts, but that is mostly how I have always learned... from my own mistakes. I only wish that I knew what exactly it is that I should be striving for, like, what is truly the dream I have for MY life. I am really good at encouraging others and coming alongside them in the quest to make their dreams come true. I guess that this is the bottom line, I wonder if that is what I am most afraid to risk... having and knowing what my own dream is. After all, it is a big risk, isn't it... perhaps the biggest a person can have, because in the end I am the only one who can take the responsibility for my own success or failure. Sure, I can say in all honesty that I want to be all that God has made and called me to be... but what exactly that is, what it looks like, or how it plays out is where I always seem to get lost. Does that make sense?
ReplyDeleteIt makes total sense. Knowing we want to be all that God made us to be is easy. Knowing what that is, is a life long prsuit. The question in the blog is only part of the journey of discovery. Keep on pursuing.
