Being a perfectionist, I could not help to reflect on my life and think if I could have or should have, would I be in a difference place in life today. Would I be more successful in my career, if I did not listen to my parents? Would I have an easier life, if I didn’t come to the United States? Would my life be easier, if I learn to speak up sooner?
As I go through life, I learned that the brain has an interesting way of tricking me to be stuck in the past. The should haves, could haves or would haves. If I did this or that, then I would be in a better place. Did those thoughts help you in anyway? I learned that we should embrace wherever we are in life and just appreciate the moment.
