Humans are bound to make mistakes in life no matter how good our decision-making skills are, you might be able to reduce the number of mistakes you make in life but they are just inevitable. Many people think mistakes make us terrible but I don't see things from that perspective, I will rather say mistakes make us a better person because it teaches me how not to do things wrongly on my next try.
Mistakes attract regrets and I remembered when I do play sports bets a lot, I was fond of using the two words together whenever I lost a bet.
I made a mistake putting Barcelona on my ticket, I regret doing that and I should have just chosen Madrid.
We are prone to mistakes but in a situation where it has to do with something we will never regret doing, it is definitely not a mistake.
Getting into a wrong relationship is not a mistake, you had the hope of having a beautiful life with the person and things not going as planned might bring regrets because of how much emotions, time, money, and other things you have invested in it but it is definitely not a mistake.
Investing in my family well being is something I will never regret doing because am doing that good to a part of me.
A lot of people underestimate the importance of family and it hurts to see people neglect them. We have different reasons for making decisions that have to do with neglecting our families but nothing is worth taking that decision.
Some claim to do it for the sake of freedom, some got carried away while seeking greener pastures, there are lots of reasons but I don't think there is a genuine excuse for neglecting people who showed you genuine love all through their lives.
After getting separated from my mom and siblings some years ago, I knew 1 it was the perfect opportunity for me to avoid the responsibilities I took upon myself since I was 15 years of age. They didn't know what I was doing or, how much I was earning, it was an opportunity to live a life I have always dreamed of but it was just an impossible thing for me to do and I am glad I didn't neglect them because after that time I thought life was perfect for me already, I hit the bottom ground again and these people I called my family were there to help me get on my feet again.
People who don't know these things see family as a setback just because of responsibilities.
I have a friend who told me that I might not be wealthy in life as I have always wanted if I don't ignore my family and focus on just myself. I am not surprised. He is a big spender on the island that doesn't want family around him because he wants to be reckless and doesn't want anyone cautioning him.
Our upbringing might be different but that doesn't mean that we shouldn't know what's right to do.
My response to him that day made me cut ties with him because I can't be friends with such a person.
I always believed that we are born into a particular family for a purpose, and neglecting that purpose is a sin against God and humanity.
We went through a lot while growing up in my father's absence, my mother had to sacrifice a lot and it would be unfair for me to think investing in them is too much no matter how challenging it can be. I have never regretted and will never regret supporting my family and putting a beautiful smile on their faces.
You cannot be at loss for making your family happy because I am happy when they are happy. Investing in their well-being means I am also investing in myself today and for the future so there is nothing to regret me.
My siblings went for a holiday and my life has been boring since they left, they are also playing a part a lot of people are not seeing.
Everything I am doing in my life is not a waste and will never be, we were raised in love. Watching over one another is something we have dedicated ourselves to and we are all happy doing that.
My life is perfect with them and the one thing I will never regret in my life is investing in their well-being.
