If I asked you, “Can you say you don’t have any regrets in your life?” what would you say? I would then annoy you with a follow-up question, “Are you sure?” Then you might think I’m being condescending, but the truth is I only wanted you to rethink whether you understand what it really means to have regrets.

In this article I want to shed light on all the (hopefully helpful) mantras we hear everywhere:

No regrets! YOLO! Carpe diem!

What’s the fuss all about? Do people who say them or have them tattooed on their foreheads know what’s up? Or are they just wanting to do something “daring,” at the risk of having even more regrets?

How are you? Hope you’re doing just fine. Perhaps more importantly, I hope you’re feeling fine. I don’t mean to sound intrusive. I just want you to be aware, for a second, how you’re truly feeling right now.

Because if you’re feeling anything but great—or at least fine—you probably woke up on the wrong side of the bed.

You must be looking for ways to find your purpose in life. For that reason alone, you deserve a pat on the back.

You’re on your way to discover what it means to live fully.

I’ve gotta tell you—many people simply carry on without having at least one reason to live.

To say that having a session of overthinking—thinking too much—from time to time might not be that bad. Overthinking, that dreaded term. We know that it doesn’t really help, it only leads to headache, it’s hassling.

Yet we do it, perhaps for fear of being called an idiot for a wrong decision made.

I’ve said in other posts that I myself tend to overthink. I’ve yet to discover why. Maybe visiting someone who knows about this stuff (a shrink?) might help. That’d be an awesome experience to look forward to.
