Everybody has a personal, mental list of missed opportunities, bad decisions, wrong path taken in their past, etc. Things they wish they had done but didn't. Things they did that sent their lives in a different, worse direction. Things that they did that had profoundly bad repercussions that impacted their entire lives. How many times have you thought, if only I hadn't done this or that or said that or left so & so.
Several years ago I made a pact with myself to never add another item to my list. There were too damn many items on it already. I decided that next time I want to say something or ask a question I'm gonna do it. I'm not going to let stupid shyness get in the way and find myself regretting inaction. Sometimes situations only happen once in your lifetime and isn't it better to go for it instead of beating yourself up over not doing it forever? At least you can say to yourself "Well, I gave it my best shot."

I didn´t read any of your post but you look like a 1970´s race car driver. Is this true or are you trying to look cool? I´m not fooled by your staged pic.

Great attitude Ooby Wish more people, including myself, could make a positive change like that...it's not always an easy thing to do. Sometimes we are our own worst enemy and sadly, when we are about to take our final breaths on our death bed, we leave this life with regrets for the woulda, shoulda, coulda that didn't get done. Good to hear you've made a pact with yourself...the trick now is to follow through.
What Up Ooby? I judt wanted to say Hey, we can chase all we want, tho unless THEY are CHASING US as well, we are chasing the moon!! Can I Bybass this sector?
I have very few regrets. If I make a bad decision I dust myself off and get back in the saddle...sometimes something that first appears as a bad decision will work out quite well on down the line....I try to right any wrongs but don;t beat my self up over them. there's always tomorrow, oob
