Turning Back the Time

“If only I could turn back the time, I would have planned my life as early as possible rather than procrastinate.”

“If only I could turn back the time, I would have taken the necessary actions in executing my plans rather than allowing Mr. Fear and Mr. Doubt become an obstacle to reach for my dreams.”

“If only I could turn back the time, I would have spend my time improving myself rather than criticizing others.”

“If only I could turn back the time, I would have listened to the advices of the people who already made it rather than pay attention to people who have not proven anything in their life.”

“If only I could turn back the time, I would have spend my time reading financial literacy books and spend more time with successful people rather than waste my time doing worthless things and being with unsuccessful people.”

“If only I could turn back the time, I would have become an entrepreneur and have been living my desired lifestyle rather than being an employee working on someone else’s dreams.”

“If only I could turn back the time, I would have acquired both financial and time freedom rather than financial and time restrictions.”

“If only I could turn back the time, I would have retired young and rich rather than retire old and broke.”

“If only I could turn back the time, I would have become part of the solution to our country’s problem rather than become an additional problem.”

“If only I could turn back the time, I would have made things happen for myself, for my family, for my community, and for my country rather than just watch and let things happen.”

“If only I could turn back the time, I would have left a legacy in this world and be remembered that I have lived my purpose.”

Do you envision yourself five years, ten years, twenty years, or fifty years from now sitting in your rocking chair overlooking the window and saying all these stuff?

Take a look at it, with just one regret, it leads to the greatest remorse of your entire life.

Regrets are the brakes on the wheels of progress. People just let time pass them and then realize that it was already too late to do the things that needed to be done.

Remember this, you do not have the power to turn back the time but what you hold in your hands today is the time which can shape your future.

The greatest waste in the world is the difference between what we are and what we could become. – Ben Herbster
