Suck it up, take a chance, make a change
There are some things I learned in life about regretting things. I can complain and say “I should have done that differently,” but that’s the thing about it all. You can’t go back and change things that have already happened. (At least not everything.)
Life is hard, suck it up! That’s a motto to me for the past few years. Whenever something happened, even it was obviously unfair, I would just comfort myself to suck it up ‘cause everything can’t just be fair all the time. And over time, I’ve taken it for granted. The good thing is that I can always keep myself peaceful and steady. But recently I realized that it’s not okay just to suck it up. Why should I just be the one to shut up! It’s so much like a coward. If I just step up and contend for myself, there could be another result. Well, I can’t say the result could be good for me, but at least I let myself heard.
Yes, life is hard indeed. It’s hard enough to get myself tough to face any difficulties. I know I always can! But to remain unknown and a Mr. Nice Guy won’t always work in the damn cruel and hurting reality. Things are just unfair due to many reasons, but your attitude is something really precious. Don’t just stay so calm and make yourself believe it’s reasonable! Take a chance and make a change if you don’t feel it that way!
Looking back to the life before, I have no regrets! Everything that didn’t go the way I expected or planned has been a learning experience for me. Sure I can go and say “Man, I regret ever...” but I don’t want to do that. The outcomes of things that have gone wrong have taught me how to better myself, and how to make things right. It has made me a better person (I hope), and I’m grateful.
I’m not claiming to be a perfect person, ‘cause I’m not. I make mistakes all the time. I’m just tired of being so nice to shut up to all the unfair facts. I’d rather feel sad about the outcomes than regret of not trying!
So people, show your attitude!! Take a chance and make a change!!
