I read about a phrase today called 'hindsight is 20/20' which means one is able to evaluate past choices more clearly than at the time of the choice.
Got me thinking - don't we go back to the early 2000's, quite often, and regret that we could have taken some bold decisions, could have done things differently, could have ventured out on our own or could have followed our insane dreams but we didn't because, who knows, we thought things were not stable enough or we were not courageous enough, not wiser enough or inspired enough or may be lazy enough or were just plain ignorant.
We are currently living in the most trickiest times ever, so, can we, for a change, instead of whining, worrying, complaining about the pandemic; we can do something that we always wanted to do, take some bold decisions that we always wanted to take, make those changes in our lives, go for that goal, try to live that dream, to venture out on our own, run that marathon or write that article or ask that girl out or do anything that you might regret not doing when you look back at this time, say, 5-7 years from now.
Times were uncertain then, times are uncertain now. History has taught us that there was never a conducive environment to begin and that's the beauty of uncertainty - whatever we see around us was built amidst the uncertainty, not in the absence of it.
All you have to do, considering all things planned, is to take that leap of faith.
I have begun, so can you !
