Just like everyone else in the world I’ve had a number of successes and failures, but I would not choose to change anything about my life. Everything in life happens for a reason. I’ve gotten my heart broken, gotten into trouble with the law, lost the trust of my parents, and gone through a number of other failures but I try the best that I can to live life with no regrets. I view every failure as a lesson that I can grow from, what can’t kill you can only make you stronger.
Aside from a number of failures I’ve also had a number of successes that I’m quite proud of. Overcoming my Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD) has been one of my greatest successes because it opened up so many doors for me. When suffering from this disorder I would go out in public and feel a great deal of anxiety and paranoia. I felt extremely uncomfortable eating in front of people and would never initiate a conversation with someone for fear of being rejected. My social life was slowly deteriorating till I finally had enough and decided to face my fears. The more exposed I got to social settings the more comfortable I felt, and in a matter of weeks of exposure I had improved my social skills greatly. Along with my Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD) I also overcame my Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), and Paranoia all of which I view as great successes.
Everything in time will come and everything in time will end so I find it useless to reflect on my failures with regret when I could just live life in the moment. One never knows when their expiration date will be so it would be very unwise to waste that precious time with sadness and regret. I view failures as scars that will heal over time but negative feelings like regret only delay the healing process and can cause a nasty infection. View failures as lessons and you’re sure to live a life of happiness and content.
