Monday Inspiration #75 – Regrets are ideas without action
A while back I was listening to motivational speaker Les Brown talk about the wealthiest place on the Earth. It is not a place you would think of first hand. To paraphrase what he said, The richest place in the world is not the bank but the graveyard, because it is there that you will find an overflowing abundance of dreams, aspirations, and talents that never came to fruition.
Today’s inspirational quote reminded me of this. While most of us are living through this pandemic and practicing social distancing and isolation, there is no better time than now to really think about your life and what you truly WANT to do with it. The majority of people that work happen to hate what they do and it’s a means to an end. At the same time, there are many people right now that are being laid off or downsized because of this crisis.
I have been there and understand. But what I also know is, everything happens for a reason, even if it looks like the end of the world. For those that are experiencing loss or even just reevaluating the current state of their life and what is important, take this moment in time to think outside the box.
Your time is now.
Dare to dream and make those aspirations a reality. With most of us now discovering the world of remote work, educate yourself about work at home opportunities. Many people have used their ideas to create online businesses. For example, look at online stores from delivery to Ebay to creative shops like Etsy. Learn to think outside the box. Don’t let your untapped dreams become regrets.
Now more than ever is the perfect time to try something you’ve never done before. After all, most of us now have more time to think introspectively and rethink what our purpose is. This life journey has many challenges, but we will get through this too. To have the life you want, you have to try something you’ve never done before.
