live without regret

I won’t let someone else define any part of my existence. I will feel strong about who I am and what I do, and I will define myself and my actions, my life and my experiences. No one else defines me unless I accept them doing it.

little by little. This week I learned that my friend, who is one of my favorite Jazzercise instructors, won’t be instructing us anymore. Due to some changes at home she won’t be available. At first I was very sad, but then I realized I better have the best time I can while she is still there, so we end our time with great memories not sad ones. All of a sudden I’m ready to jump up on stage and dance along with her, and not let my fears talk me out of it. I’m having the best time! It’s becoming clearer to me what it means to live without regret. This is my life, and I want to LIVE IT!! Why should I worry what someone else may think? Let them live their own lives!

I got tired of always wishing I had said, or done… I don’t want to hold back anymore, or feel like I’m held back by others. Sometimes my way of being brave is to just jump at the chance before I have time to think, and talk myself out of it.
