Regret out of not acting on impulse is something I have struggled with all my life. I felt the urge to do something but my social anxiety and fear of being judged, have always been a stumbling block.

One of the bigger examples has been my hesitancy to be open about my faith. As a Christian, my most basic purpose is to simply tell people about Christ, regardless of how I think they would respond. You truly never know when somebody just needs to feel as though they are not alone in this world.

Unfortunately, I have let my fears get the better of me more times than not and have lost quite a few potential blessings from that inaction. I feel like I could have made some lifelong friends as well, but you live and learn.

I try not to obsess over these regrets, as that negative hyper focus would make it even more difficult to do better moving forward. The main thing is to make sure I am making baby steps to improve. Thankfully, this blog has helped tremendously and for that I am grateful 🙂
