I have a lot of regrets in life and sometimes they keep me awake at night. Sometimes I'm out on an errand for the family and then it hit it "only if you had saved that $10k, or secured that $25k", or something like "just imagine you were able to do this, or you took that big decision instead of cowering" and then you remembered that you once made a big bold decision only for it to actually backfires.
For example I've made horrible decisions in 2026, and these decisions have been costly that they've impacted me financially, and these financial repercussions now comes with huge consequences.
2025 ended so well for me, even though it started horribly, and this has taught me that that one cannot look at how bad things are without thinking of ways to move forward. The biggest healer of regret is correction.
When we can be able to correct some of the previous wrong mistakes we've made, this reduces the degree of the regret we hold and this is why we have to continue trying no matter bad we've previously done it.
I like the idea that a moving man will always get lucky someday, but nobody actually talks about sacrifices that this "moving man" actually, we're concerned about the the fact that he actually needs to continue moving and that's the reality of life.
When you don't show up daily, no one wants to know if you're depressed, if you've had it rough or if you're going through some terrible period or hit any rough patches as well. When you don't move when life isn't moving, no one considers the fact that something seriously might be wrong, but this is life, don't be sad.
One of the biggest lessons about making it is that you need to keep going, life expects that your journey ends when your heart stops beating, and not even when you need to rest, and that's the most competitive thing about reality.
Immediately you take a break, a lot of things happens, and you become the guy who isn't "moving enough". I use to measure my day by how creatively productive it is, and even though I should be comfortable with taking time off, I just don't want to stop being a "moving man".
Sad but true, this is the biggest struggle of making it. For example, I have a lot of things planned and the plans have been slow, horrible or not working enough and they just seem to frustrate me.
This sense of urgency probably stems from some of the most silent regrets, battles and fear I've been trying to overcome. I remember doing so many useless things in the first two quarters of 2025, and inasmuch as they were largely useless I still feel that all that "uselessness" was inevitable. In the struggle to get it, a lot of trial and errors happens, and it's probably good to continue making it happen.
This doesn't stop me from being grateful, I am grateful. For the times I can learn, the ability to learn and relearn, the capacity to be health consciousn.
The fact that regrets and lessons are part of the journey. The past 3 years of my life taught me lessons more than any other-lessons about urgency, loyalty, betrayal, health and God, and somehow I realized that only if I had learned earlier.
A moving man is not stipulated to meet success alone, there are lessons that are dark and scary, but ar least it's better than being in a state of stagnancy. I'll just say keep moving if you can. Move, survival, thrive and if possible try to stay in the game for how long you can.
Adapt if you must, fight, be creative, recover if you need time. Rest if you must but don't lose your velocity. I guess the lessons in there is that you just have to be a moving man no matter what happens.
